soft bigotry of low expectations

Not expecting disadvantaged people or minorities to meet the same standard of behaviour or achievement set for most people. It is called "soft bigotry" because it is a more subtle and subconscious form of prejudice.

"I will confront another form of bias: the soft bigotry of low expectations.

Several months ago I visited Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, where African-Americans confronted injustice and white Americans confronted their conscience. In 43 years, we have come so far in opening the doors of our schools. But today we have a challenge of our own. While all can enter our schools, many--too many, are not learning there.

There's a tremendous gap of achievement between rich and poor, white and minority. This, too, leaves a divided society.

And whatever the causes, the effect is discrimination.

My friend Phyllis Hunter (ph), of Houston, Texas, calls reading the new civil right. Equality in our country will remain a distant dream until every child, of every background, learns so that he or she may strive and rise in this world. No child in America should be segregated by low expectations, imprisoned by illiteracy, abandoned to frustration and the darkness of self-doubt."

- George W. Bush, speech before the NAACP (2000).

Bigoteering

The act of labeling a person “racist”, “sexist”, or somethinglikeit-ist in situations where these are not warranted, in an attempt to exploit the stigmas accompanying such labels and force the opponent to spend time and energy explaining “why he/she is not a bigot”.

If you disagree with Sally on anything political, all she does is call you a sexist, racist, homophobe. Classic bigoteering.

bigoteer

Someone who seeks profit or to elevate themselves by accusing people of being bigoted. There is a trend with college age or millennials that are hypersensitive to the point where they look for an inkling that something is sexist or racist or crude and publicly calls them out and shames them. This makes them feel superior to that person.

Elen Degeneres tweeted a picture of her on Usain Bolt's back, the bigoteers came out to call Elen racist.
