THE LOWEST FORM OF HUMAN BEING IS THE BIGOT. Fortunately for the rest of us, these obnoxious fools typically reveal themselves readily because they aren’t capable of keeping a cap on their bigotry. Bigots tend to band together, like hyenas, because they gain comfort from being around their own kind. In this fashion, they are able to spew their venom and stupidity with impunity while their chums nod their heads in dumb solidarity. Acolytes of unreasoned hatred become members of a herd, their individuality having been lost when they took up the offensive calling of their intolerance. “Prejudice,” Voltaire told us, “is opinion without judgment.” Any remnant of rationality that may have otherwise survived in the bigot has long since atrophied. Of course, the government cannot legislate against prejudice. But there are laws prohibiting discrimination, which is when bigotry has real-life consequences against innocent people. On the whole, however, punishing discrimination, whether it is through civil fines or criminal penalties, is like spitting upwind in the final analysis because the reaction of the guilty party is usually a blank stare and a hardening of their chauvinism. At best, the snake will slither back into the weeds.
