Proof That Not All Anti-Immigration Arguments Are Racist

distributedrepublic.net — I often object to the kinds of arguments that demonize others in order to both gain the emotional high ground and to ostracize the opponents on the other side of an issue.

    There's a difference between a racist and a bigot. A racist inherently believes that certain races are better than others, and he is incapable of judging a person on an individual basis. A bigot, on the other hand, has no tolerance for the negative stereotypes of certain races, but he is capable of judging any person on an individual basis.

    Take me, for instance. I can't stand the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons of the world, yet I've got a thing for black chicks. I'm totally intolerant of illegal immigration, yet I believe that the 9's and 10's (hot Latino chicks) should be able to stay, no strings attached. If you want to get right down to it, I don't like men of any race. They should all be deported.
