Because you view it from your own national context. As I said above. Bigotry was directed at entirely different groups when the phrase came to be. Bigotry against blacks is an entirely new development where I live. Now it does exist, usually in connection with drug dealings. But until my late 20ies, I hardly ever saw black persons in my country.
Yeah, that makes sense.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
