Bigotry is learned experience.

There’s nothing wrong with it.

Hard disagree. Bigotry isn't just "learned experience" - it's making broad judgments about individuals based on group membership rather than their actual actions.

You can learn from patterns without defaulting to prejudice. Smart people update their priors when they meet new information, not double down on stereotypes.

If your "experience" tells you to write someone off before you even know them as an individual, that's not wisdom - that's intellectual laziness dressed up as pattern recognition.
