I gotta ask
Do you think that Hollywood or even the news would have picked up on the Mel Gibson story the way it has if he had started spouting off about Christians or, say, Italians being the cause of all of the Native American troubles?
I personally think it would have been a non-event.
The reasoning is kind of supported by the recent threads on this board. Cuss and swear about Christians and several jump on the bandwagon stating that they are ruining the country or simply show "tolerance and understanding" for such statements, but make a comment about Jews being good businessmen and immediately the accusations of bigotry start flying.
Don't want to stir the pot, just curious about your perceptions of "tolerance" in general. Are we truly a tolerant society or are we selectively tolerant?
