In short tolerating intolerance isn't tolerance but indifference.
If someone defines themselves over hating and degrading others, to tolerate them is aiding and abetting that line of (I hesitate to even call it that) thought.
No, you don't.
You're not on the receiving end of people calling you subhuman for your believes. And if someone does, you will observe that many rush to your aid. Me among them. That's on the same line. If someone degrades someone just for who they are, they need to be called out. That's the same on the individual level as it is on the broad brush level.
Intolerance should never be tolerated.
