a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially: one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.
So by you not tolerating his opinion. You would be the bigot. He never targeted one person as you did. He made a blanket statement. I remeber some of my history and know a few ethiopian. BUT... that still doesnt change his staement. In fact his opinio might be shared by many other africans. considering in is one of the OLDEST regions yet one of the farthest behind in many aspects of health & welfare forget about technology.
To make it clear he compared ethiopia to africa. He never said Anyone or race was _________. You did call him directly a Bigot and SOB.
He changed his comment to asian and you were fine or if he would have made the same statement comparing US and Mexico.
You sir just have a hang up(very strong opinion) on Ethiopia/Ethiopians and everyone educated or not doesnt need to have the same opinion.
So now you want to get into opinions? We'll considering that racism is still alive and we just conceal it, people like him are contributing to that. Key word, racial....derived from?....RACE. Ethiopia? No, he said...ethiopians. Clearly a statement about Ethiopia's PEOPLES. Kinda like, filipiNOS or in yours and his case..in a broad statement, caucasiANS. See the connection? Yes, I would have said the same thing if it were about Mexicans. So me knowing that ethiopIANS aren't clearly 'worthless' and knowing much of their history, the origins, etc, etc and saying he's a bigoted SOB make me a bigot? WRONG. There's a clear line between someone who UNDERSTANDS and is able to comprehend a certain people's history and someone who doesn't. I'm not going to point any fingers; there's plenty of them to point out any way so it's not too hard. If you aren't educated enough to understand what exactly you are saying/talking about, I suggest you just don't say it. 'Cause someone like me, who knows a good amount, might have to chime in. I received a pm from him apologizing and I appreciated that. So from what I understand, we're neutral. Good day.

Well I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this. Ethiopian in my eyes is not a race. Just like being an Oregonian is not a race. American is not a race. Yes you can still be predjudice towards them. Also your blanket statement about caucasion also incorporates many Africans. Since you are a history buff you probably know that caucasian is actually very racists. It was a way for the Europeans tried to sepearte classify different races, but didnt work because we cant all be classified by color, country Origin, (or size and shape of SKULLS) like we do animals. But the word caucasian has still stuck around to basically mean "WHITE"
He did apologize I commend him for that. he explained he was joking I guess my point is in no way did I see an apology from you for being wrong, misinformed, uneducated about him/his stance. I guess thats what I was getting at.
