Mel, you speak here as if you experience biogtry. Do you experience it in yourself? I mean do you have patterns of stuff you can not shift from you which you can also rationalise differently? Some things in me I'm not sure are bigotry or not. Homosexuality for example - at some level I see it as bad and I can't shift that. At another level I rationalise it as OK. Thus I'm in that state where I'm in confusion over it. I can't just change / delete what's deep inside me telling me it's wrong, etc.

It can spill out in a way which is not overt. Thus, parents will bring up children by rules and masked / veils innuendos which neither they themselves nor the child will understand.
Also, we / the child will come across both open bigotry and closeted biogtry from others who teach us, rule us, etc, too.
Firstly, if the bigotry spills out in any way, such as in the examples you gave, wouldn't it no longer constitute as closeted bigotry?
Now I do actually agree that it's inherently dangerous regardless, as specified at the very end of my video. Throughout the video I was pointing out how it might not be so to showcase how rationalizations of spirituality are often approved on a parallel falsehood scale. I'm sure you read my annotation & the sidebar.

Hi Mel, thanks for the response.
