I am not defending hatred or intolerance. i am defendind that people's upbringing and culture may impact their allegiances and decision making. It should be looked at by those who these people will represent. If you think thats bigotry - every college and private school in the country does this as routine admission policy. Shouldnt we in choosing a person for the most poweful leader in the world?

Plenty of black people are direct descendants of slaves.
Should they hate white people? (I'm sure the vast majority don't)

I have friends who's grandparents/parents were in the Krakow ghettos during WW2, they don't hate Germans.

There's an Iranian girl in LA who married someone half jewish. Is something wrong there?

I gave a Malaysian muslim booger wood, habs, and tattoo plugs to use on GTs and Dogtooth.
You got a problem with that?

In so doing you're stating directly that anyone raised as a Muslim or even has an Islamic sounding name is just a little bit guilty until they prove their innocence.

This is exactly what bigotry is all about.
