In order to detect bigotry you have to understand that it's fundamentally irrational. If you expect it to make sense, you'll miss it.

It's not enough to listen literally to what people say. You have to pick up the feelings behind it.

"Rationalist skeptics" are especially bad at noticing bigotry because they disdain emotional intelligence. They read language as logical propositions. They're blind to subtext, connotation, innuendo.

This works with good-faith rational debate, but not with bigotry. "Reason" and "logic" are only reflections on the surface of bigotry. Rationalists look into the lake and think they're gazing at clouds.
