    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?

                  Godamn, you actually believe that shit and think it’s OK. Remarkable.

                  Bigotry: obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

                  You are a bigot. You seem to be ok with that, and that’s fine. People being bigger bigots than you dosen’t justify it.

                    Which if you take the unreasonable stance that making fun of Americans for bragging for decades is bigotry makes sense. But I still can’t tell what you actually believe. I assume that you were not being serious when you used a circular definition for labeling me a braggart but that’s a risky assumption. I’m guessing that you are being disingenuous and trying what you think is a clever rhetorical method of being insulting to me for being an American so that you can bait me into saying that you yourself are being a bigot. It really is hard to distinguish your fucking about from what you really believe.
