Well, no. I did look it up just to be sure.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigotry

Specifically:

"Bigotry is the state of mind of a bigot: someone who, as a result of their
prejudices, treats or views other people with fear, distrust, hatred,
contempt, or intolerance on the basis of a person's opinion, ethnicity,
race, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual
orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics."

So basically, intolerance. Doesn't really matter as to what, in terms of
applying the word. People tend to use it in reference to people who are
prejudiced against people because of their race. But that's only one
definition.

I have seen her judge on the basis of another's opinion, time and time
again. Particularly when it comes to child raising. She has her own ideas
and if other do things that are not what she did, then she considers them to
be wrong.

Sure, people disagree with things others do all the time. But that's not
the same as going around and telling them what you do or did and acting like
that is the only way to go.

I also don't think it is bigotry to say that you have seen those who are on
public assistance using Smart Phones. I have seen them too! Now most
likely they are not the norm. But the ones I have seen have been most
obvious given the way they act, and act poorly while getting their
groceries.

I am sure there have been countless others ahead of me in line who were on
public assistance and I never would have noticed because they were behaving
in a normal fashion.

We do tend to notice things that stick out like a sore thumb whether we want
to or not. And around these parts it does take a lot to stick out. It is
not at all unusual for people to have wildly colored hair, piercings,
tattoos or even to go out in pajamas and slippers. We're pretty laid back
here.

But pull the sort of stunt that I've seen pulled many times and you will be
noticed! Which is picking up things that can not be purchased with WIC or
EBT then stand there ignoring the clerk and talking on your IPhone all the
while. That's not exactly normal behavior.
