I love the fact orange bastards get offended by being called an orange bastard and the person doing the name calling gets condemned as a bigot....
Being called a bigot for calling an actual bigot from an bigoted organisation a bigot ???? all very confusing.

I find it confusing that you can get done for calling supporters of Sevco orange bastards, despite the fact that they release an orange jersey to appease their orange bastard fans. The only time it could ever be bigoted is if you called all protestants or random protestants 'orange bastards' simply on account of them being protestants, and no one ever does that.

the interesting thing is that in last 10 years the definition of bigot has been hijacked and changed in all dictionaries that I can find but changed in what year, and why?

old correct definition of bigot that most know from life is-

bigot (n.)
1590s, "sanctimonious person, religious hypocrite," from French bigot (12c.), which is of unknown origin. Sense extended 1680s to other than religious opinions.
Earliest French use of the word is as the name of a people apparently in southern Gaul, which led to the theory, now considered doubtful on phonetic grounds, that the word comes from Visigothus. The typical use in Old French seems to have been as a derogatory nickname for Normans, leading to another theory (not universally accepted) that traces it to the Normans' (alleged) frequent use of the Germanic oath bi God. OED dismisses in a three-exclamation-mark fury one fanciful version of the "by god" theory as "absurdly incongruous with facts." At the end, not much is left standing except Spanish bigote "mustache," which also has been proposed as the origin of the word, but not explained, so the chief virtue of that theory is the lack of evidence for or against it.
In support of the "by God" theory the surnames Bigott, Bygott are attested in Normandy and in England from the 11c., and French name-etymology sources (such as Dauzat) explain it as a derogatory name applied by the French to the Normans and representing "by god." The English were known as goddamns 200 years later in Joan of Arc's France, and during World War I Americans serving in France were said to be known as les sommobiches (see son of a bitch) for their characteristic oaths. But the sense development in bigot would be difficult to explain. According to Donkin, the modern use first appears in French in 16c. This and the earliest English sense, "religious hypocrite," especially a female one, might have been influenced by or confused with beguine (q.v.) and the words that cluster around it.


modern definition, and the definition now used as fact, is

bigotry:-

intolerance towards those who hold different opinions from oneself.


notice the scope of the dictionary definition would mean every single person is a bigot.


could this have been changed to help legal cases against certain bigoted hypocrites?
