ORIGINAL: Level If a sub is from the middle east and wears a turban and likes heroin, does that make them an "afghan"? That would be stereotyping. Biggotry would be "I hate those fucking turban wearing, heroin dealing afgans, and I'll be damned if I'd ever live within 10 miles of one". See the difference? Biggotry is hate or intolerance of another group. Stereotyping can lead to biggotry, or it can express biggotry, but they aren't the same thing. I doubt this post was motivated by, or intended to inspire biggotry. It was an attempt to be funny.
