Bigotry in perspective Empty Bigotry in perspective

There may even be a scientific reason why tolerance for some forms of bigotry needs to be kept alive. An old proverb in English says that birds of the same feather flock together. By instinct, we are more comfortable with people who look like us, talk like us, and think like us. Even those who rail against bigotry appear to subscribe to the wisdom of like feathers flocking together. A celebrity anchor seen at the forefront of this campaign studied at Oxford. He is married to another celebrity anchor equally shrill on the subject and who also went to Oxford. May I suggest that if this gentleman had faith in his words beyond the idle talk, he would have set a heart-stirring example and married his maid’s daughter?
