There are a few other tweets, but spread over 2.5 decades, i don't see cause for notoriety? Dawkins is controversial but is there evidence of bigotry?
Example from 2015:

Controversial maybe, but I don't think bigoted...
- dragonwriter 6y ago> There are a few other tweets Dawkins problematic output has never been restricted to (indeed, predates, though the language of the AHA statement likely indicates that what they are concerned with is comparatively recent) tweets.
- LatteLazy 6y agoCan you provide some concrete examples of bigotry? So far, this is very inspecific and "problematic"...
- curryst 6y agoThe "I call her 'she' out of courtesy" part is fairly offensive, and just totally uncalled for. It adds nothing to the rest of the content, and I can't think of any reason to add it other than to fan the flames. It's like saying "I call them Dr out of courtesy". No, you don't, you call them Dr XYZ because it's their title. It's not a courtesy to call them by their title, it's just an insult to call them anything else. To make matters worse, there's not even anything insightful in that tweet. Yes, we get it, words mean what society decides they mean. At least the latest tweet brought up an interesting point, and he didn't finish it off with a childish jab.
