    I think that making fun of Americans or not being fond of them in response to the decades of American exceptionalism messaging falls below the threshold of bigotry. But you seem to think that it doesn’t. That’s what makes it seem like you are putting that one the same level as serious issues of bigotry.

        I do actually stand against bigotry, I just have reasonable standards for what qualifies as bigotry. That you just made that statement reinforces my point that you are treating making fun of braggart Americans as being as heinous as actual forms of bigotry.

                So you’ve stopped being sincere again. But we do seem to have settled on you actually were putting mocking Americans at the same level as actual bigotry. Were you just fucking around before when you took exception to that observation?

                  Jesus christ, I knew Americans were dumb, but it’s worse than I thought.

                  I’m calling you out on the bigotry you accept, but turning it back on you because obviously you don’t believe those things about yourself. And you don’t deserve to be judged by other people’s bigoted perceptions.

                  I don’t think all bigotry is on the same level no matter how many times you say it. But an American probably dosen’t even understand that they can be bigoted.

                    I just don’t buy that making fun of people going on about how they are number one is bigotry. I think calling it that is what cheapens actual bigotry. How much of what you just said was sincere and how much is just fucking around?
