You think you’re perfect.

You know nothing about me or how far from the truth this is. You are miles closer to perfection than I will ever be.

What you’ve just told me is that you have no interest in discovering and changing yourself to help make a difference.

This is a lie.

I have a really tough time with people that have no desire to learn and improve.

I have a really tough time with liars who make assumptions about me and put words in my mouth, so I guess we are both having a really tough time.

What I’m going to ignore is your assertion that philosophy is not relevant to daily life.

And more lies.

But thank you for proving my point about you wanting to treat people like shit so well.

Also, I like how you say both "I am not saying you are a racist" and "your (subconscious) bigotry" as if those aren't total contradictions.

If that's not what you were saying, then what were you saying?

Also, I like how you say both “I am not saying you are a racist” and “your (subconscious) bigotry” as if those aren’t total contradictions.

They are not. Subconscious bigotry or bias doesn't necessarily make one a bigot, as contradictory as that may sound. Whether they like to admit or not, everyone reacts differently to people who are noticeably different from them. There is no way to entirely avoid this, only to realize when it happens and not act according to it. Or in other words: "I don't care if you're racist! EVERYONE'S racist!"

I was saying that it is not relevant outside of a philosophical discussion. I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand. I never said philosophical discussions had no relevance.

Also, while you're asking questions, maybe you should ask the person I'm talking to who I am supposedly bigoted against.
