Making Bigotry Grow And Flourish

       There is a double standard when it comes to bigotry, which only allows bigotry to flourish. The bigotry of some is opposed, while the bigotry of others is ignored or excused, depending on race, ethnicity and religion. The object of the bigotry also determines if the bigotry will be opposed or excused.
       Thus the bigotry of those considered victims is accepted, excused or ignored, especially if the objects of their bigotry are considered privileged.
       The unwillingness to accept the bigotry of some, and the willingness to accept the bigotry of others, all based on notions of victimhood and privilege, ensures that the bigotry of all grows. Double standards are patronizing, infantilizing and harmful.
