Sorry, but I didn't get what you said. I thought that was what I was saying.

Ps. Prejudiced is a better word.
I think Amy is trying to say that racism involves well, race -- not liking someone because of the color of their skin. Bigotry is not liking someone for their religious beliefs (ie, "Mine's better than your's"). Prejuidice sort of encompasses both those ideas.

And this may be for another topic, but Nom's statement got me to thinking... Is there heavy connotations/associations carried w/ the word 'racist' or is it so (justly or unjustly) over-used that it's become cheap? Just curious on people's thoughts....
