What's the world's oldest bigotry?

Mike Pompeo said something about a "world's oldest bigotry" as quoted in:

One doesn't need that article to think of at least one very old bigotry. I think there are probably at least two or three very old ones. So what's your candidate for the oldest of them?

Also: What's "bigotry"? I know I could look it up, and I feel I already know what it is, but I want to see what you say it is.

FYI: every word has a specific meaning,
and the meaning is not up for debate. "Bigotry" means "bigotry".

Bigot: A person who is obstinately or intolerantly dev**ed to his or her own opinions and prejudices

especially : One who regards or treats the members of a group (such as MAGA's) with hatred and intolerance.

The first-listed, "anti-monotheism", is one I had forgotten. And it's very old. Thanks.

That looks typical for you.

My quickest definition, at the moment, for "bigotry" is "h**e". But there's more to it than just that -- a more refined definition.

A lot of bigots (or, at least, people whom I think are bigots) do not recognize themselves as bigots. So, either the definition of bigotry or the awareness of bigotry, or both, is not spread evenly among the population (even a population which has access to dictionaries and can read). And that's not working out well.

On OPP there is not even general agreement on who are "h**ers" and who aren't, or are less hating. And that's not working out well.

I wonder whether these trends of "not working out well" are somehow related to people who: assume that definitions aren't worth discussing; and, assume that everyone should already know the same definitions that they themselves know or think they know.

That looks like a joke. Was it intended as one?

Seems to me, robert, you're trying to create a yardstick with which to measure what is a complex psycho-emotional phenomenon, and all you are doing is stirring up a bowl of intellectual mush.
