That's the point. In this thread we've been discussing how those 'certain minorities' abuse the term 'tolerance'. If I am a homophobe I have to tolerate gays but why should I hide the fact that I don't like them?

That's how propaganda work. And I SEE propaganda of tolerance in the West. Only a blind and deaf wouldn't notice it. There was a joke that if you need to get a job in New York your chances would be much better if you're a black HIV positive lesbian.
