Who is to blame.

[Edwardo Piet]

I hear you, I simply stick to "bigot" so that the "Muslim isn't a race" canard can't be brought into play. Racism is, after all, a subset of bigotry.

When someone is being a bigoted twat-face by saying all Muslims are terrible people or some such shit, and someone calls them racist and they respond "Muslim isn't a race" I'd love to chime in with something like "...and a red herring isn't just a fish."
