Eric:  you need to realize nothing promotes intolerance more than tolerance........were there no tolerance there would be nothing to define intolerance....If we all would just the N-word and practice hard-core racial discrimination, there would be no racial discrimination...it would just be the "norm"....if we had all (including Blacks) simply accepted pre-Civil Rights Jim Crow America, there would have been no racial discrimination...... if we all would simply hurl epithets at any women wearing hijabs there would be nothing wrong with doing so...it would be the "norm."  Only when people are willing to stand up and say "hey, this is WRONG" does the issue of intolerance arise.  regards, Gary Crum
