young minded bigotry

When a little boy tries to insult a Jewish person by calling them a "Bacon Burger", because their young dumb mind thought it was an insult at their Koscher diet.

Adolescent: "Screw you Ben! You damn Bacon Burger!"

Ben Shapiro: "Um actually, in spite of your young minded bigotry, that is not an insult you bufoon."

Friend 2: “I can never tell if he’s being serious or not”
Friend 1: “He’s a real Schrödinger’s Bigot”

Evidence-Based Bigotry

The use of scientific evidence—or appeals to evidence—to justify prejudice, discrimination, or violence against people whose beliefs, practices, or identities fall outside evidence‑based frameworks. Evidence‑based bigotry cherry‑picks studies that support predetermined biases, weaponizes the concept of “burden of proof” to demand impossible standards from marginalized groups, and frames any defense of non‑scientific practices as “anti‑science.” It is often deployed in debates about indigenous rights, religious accommodation, and alternative medicine, where the rhetoric of evidence masks deeper social and cultural hostility.

Evidence-Based Bigotry Example: “He cited a single study to claim that acupuncture was ‘dangerous quackery’ and that its practitioners were ‘harming the vulnerable’—Evidence‑Based Bigotry, using selective data to justify cultural erasure.”

Anti-Pseudoscience Bigotry

A rigid, ideological stance that conflates scientific methodology with the current institutional consensus, treating any challenge to the latter as heresy against the former. It's the belief that science is a monolithic repository of Final Truths rather than a fallible, ongoing process. This bigotry manifests as automatically venerating "official" sources while dismissing all heterodox thinkers, regardless of evidence or argument. It fails to recognize that many revolutionary ideas (germ theory, plate tectonics) began as "pseudoscience" outside the consensus, and that skepticism of institutional authority is sometimes warranted.

Example: A researcher presents preliminary but methodologically sound data suggesting a non-standard mechanism for a well-understood phenomenon. Instead of evaluating the work, established figures immediately brand it "pathological science" and blacklist the researcher from journals. They cite the "overwhelming consensus" as proof the new work must be wrong, committing the appeal-to-authority fallacy. This bigotry protects orthodoxy but stifles the corrective, revolutionary potential that is essential to science's long-term health. Anti-Pseudoscience Bigotry.
