  but according to guardian, “Bigotry” is really just a name for any opinion with which you happen to disagree.

    Going by your name I assume English is not your first language.

    [A bigot is someone] who will not listen to or accept the opinions of anyone who disagrees

    To have a debate both parties have to listen to each other. They exchange arguments in favor of their point of view and in the best case one side convinces the other of their own point of view. That is not possible with someone unwilling to listen to or accept options of other people.

    Wow you totally misrepresented that link.

    1. The linked article isn’t even about the meaning of the word bigot, its a debate between two people about whether a politician should use the word bigot.

    2. One of the debaters asserts that “Bigotry is really just a name for any opinion with which you happen to disagree.” which is his personal opinion, not a statement by The Guardian.

    3. The assertion is never supported, contradicts the dictionary, and isn’t shared by the other debater in the article.
