Black, White, Gay, Straight I agree with you on, these are not chosen attributes. Rich, Poor... that's different. I don't find it to be bigoted to comment negatively about Neiman Marcus, Sak's Fifth Avenue etc. Screw those places.

So by that logic, it would be OK in your book for someone to hate on all Goth's, Wiccka, Practicing Jews Christians or Muslims given that these are all "chosen" attributes?

For example, the official stance of the LDS church is they oppose gays having sex, gay marriage etc so for something like Prop 8 they raise money from their members to fund the Yes campaign. I find it fine and dandy to be upset with the LDS church. I am upset with all of them. I have the right to be mad at someone who is Mormon for supporting this proposition. This is why I resigned from the Catholic Church. I chose not to be part of an organization that discriminates against me and my sister. Plain and simple. But to say something like 'I hate all African Americans' doesn't make sense to me. If it's in your belief system to hate someone for something they can't control, I disagree.
