    I'm not a bigot. I hate all people equally......:devil:

    Kidding aside, I'm really not a bigot at all and I don't think I've really seen much bigotry on here. Occasionally, but not often.

    The only racist comment I saw in there was your own OP.
    But I am white, so i must be racist myself, right?
    On the other hand, I am not from the US, and English is not my native language so I am hoping that gets me some brownie points?

    You can't possibly be this obtuse.

    Oh wait. This is MFP.

    I've seen a great deal of sexism, racism and homophobia on this website. Things like insulting other people by calling them gay, insinuating that attractive women at the gym must "be there for attention" and bashing anyone who doesn't speak English as a first language.

    I believe that the MFP community is really only "supportive" of a certain demographic, but I hope I'm wrong. That's why I'm making this post. I believe even those who are against racism and feminist also deserve a space on what is, after all, a public website. But if I'm alone in believing that, then I'll stick to the more useful journaling portion.

    It is the internet not the site, people get all bad a** behind a keyboard. If you find something inappropriate report it, I have been here 3 years (under a different name this one is new) anyway, I have never seen the problems you are referring to, maybe some snarky often mean comments but never sexist, racist or homophobic.

    Actually, I have seen a few homophobic comments, but they are always from the stupid people and they are deleted quickly.

    This way of thinking ("it is the internet"), needs to stop. No, it is not the internet; it is the people using the internet, as a vehicle for their rudeness.

    I just read the thread you posted, and this original poster on this thread said this in that thread:


    Pretending that calling you racist is worse than dealing with racism. Classic white person tactic. Not working on me, however. I'm disappointed that the so-called supportive community seems to care more about whether someone is Western, white, and conventionally attractive than what they have to say. Disappointed but not surprised.


    So classic white person tactic, lol, no that statement isn't racist. I am sick and tired this whole racist thing it just needs to go away, people are people there are good and bad people in every race, creed, and sexuality. Enough is enough jeeze Louise!!!

    I have to say the OP's username is quality though.

    A bit "Apocalypse Low Brow".

    OP is clearly fishing.

    I can understand the OPs concern for prejudice on the site. however, his comment: "classic white person tactic" in the previous thread raises an eyebrow. Hmm. maybe that's just me.

    Oh my. OP used the phrase "classic white person tactic" in an accusatory manner and is now making this post calling out others for bigotry? Well slap my *kitten* and call me Charlie.

    I'm not a bigot but can I slap your *kitten*?

    i promise to only enjoy it a little bit.

    Topic: Is anyone here not a bigot?

    To answer a direct question directly:

    The vast majority of people on this site are not a bigot.

    No more needs to be said.

    It's not hard to find such people on the internet even though they are a minority.

    You should learn however from the sensible internet users that know how to spend their reading time efficiently and avoid such posts and articles.

    Remember the phrase "DO NOT FEED THE TROLL"

    Let me clarify, I do not agree. I provided link as I figured the ridiculous would be self evident and I just wanted hilarity to ensue.

    I like white girl tactics. Not so much white boys.

    Is that sexist?
