People can be racist too with someone of the same colour as themselves ie German , French etc
So what’s the difference between being a bigot to being a racist?
Racism to a black person is classed as a hate crime and rightly so,
Is it because a bigoted person either doesn’t know or doesn’t admit to being that?

Sorry for the late reply.

//For example, the city I live in has one of the largest pro rata Muslim communities in the country - so my attitude towards Muslim people is unlikely to be formed from reading about them on the internet.//

I presume that all is well then, Andy? I could list lots and lots of things that would make peoples' hair curl, about working and living in an area that is heavily populated by immigrants and 2nd generation immigrants. And having knowledge of them (the incidents) gives some people an understanding of issues that others only read about, then post on tinterweb in an ignorant, yet sanctimonious manner.
How could I possibly list them? I'd have the racial vigilantes all over me, even though theses things are facts. Can't upset anyone can we? Apart from that, everything's fine thanks. :o)
clarion I know where you live ( OK exist inside Fortress Angel Meadow) at the bottom of Oldham Rd Alphaville - I am about a mile up from you in a slum called Newton Eef

I mean it is just not like that

I mean nothing happens here and if people want to break up the city or something they take the tram into the centre....
A Bigot is prejudiced with their views and intolerant of others. A racist discriminates against other ethnic groups or races.
