ID: A scene from Legally Blonde of a conversation between Warner and Elle in the corridor at Harvard, in 4 panels:
-
Warner asks “What happened to the tolerant left?”
-
Elle replies, smiling “Who said we were tolerant?”
-
Warner continues “I thought you were supposed to be tolerant of all beliefs!”
-
Elle looks confused “Why would we tolerate bigotry, inequity, or oppression?”
I mean, Warner just doesn’t understand tolerance.
Capacity implies there is a limit. Well, asshole, they have reached the limit.
If you can only tolerate your own perspective that makes you a bigot though.
That would be no tolerance. The absence of tolerance. Intolerant.
So bigots can’t tolerate their own perspectives? White supremacists are therefor very tolerant people.
I’ve met white supremacists who gatekeep whiteness to such a degree that there is no tolerance; you have to be literally 100% a specific type of white. Which is nonsense, but they believe it nonetheless.
