bigotry

en-noun

bigotry (countable and uncountable, plural bigotries)

From French bigoterie, from bigot, equivalent to bigot + -ry.

The remarkable resilience of the Ku Klux Klan is a sad reminder of the persistence of racial and religious bigotry in the United States. No terrorist organization can match the Klan's mystique or long history, and few can match its success.

1979, Ted Robert Gurr, Violence in America: Protest, Rebellion, Reform, page 131:

The condition or the characteristic quality of a bigot, especially religious, anti-religious or racial intolerant prejudice; opinionatedness; fanaticism; fanatic intolerance.

تعصب

intolerant prejudice, opinionatedness, or fanaticism; fanatic intolerance


bigot

From French bigot (“a sanctimonious person; a religious hypocrite”), from Middle French bigot, from Old French bigot, of disputed origin. It is most often believed to have derived from the identical Old French derogatory term bigot applied to the overly religious Normans, said to be known for frequently swearing Middle English bi God (“by God”) (compare Old English bī god, Middle High German bī got, Middle Dutch bi gode), which is also thought to be the origin of the surname Bigott, Bygott. (Compare the French use of "goddamns" to refer to the English in Joan of Arc's time, and les sommobiches (see son of a bitch) during World War I). From meaning "someone overly religious" it came to mean "someone overly devoted to their own religious opinion", and then to its current sense.
The French Centre National de Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales supports the Germanic origin theory above. Liberman however opines that this has "too strong a taste of a folk etymological guess invented in retrospect" and prefers Grammont et al.'s theory that it derives from Albigot (“inhabitant of Albi”), named after the commune in southern France where Catharism (also known as Albigensianism) is thought to have originated. Online Etymology Dictionary, however, does not list Grammont and Liberman's theory among their possible origins.

He is no bigot or hypocrite, he is not torn and divided betwixt reality and appearance, no wretch of a rugged and peevish disposition, but honest, jovial, resolute, and a good fellow.

1653, Urquhart, translating Gargantua and Pantagruel by François Rabelais, book 1

Thus one part of their Church becomes Sotts and Bigots; and the other that behold this Scene of things, though they profess themselves of their Church, become a company of profane Atheists and clancular Deriders of all Religion. […] Nay it is a question whether those that do more superstitiously cleave to them, doe it not rather in a kind of confusion and obstupefaction of mind out of fear and suspicion, then any determinate assurance or firm belief of the things they outwardly profess.

1664, Henry More, A Modest Enquiry Into the Mystery of Iniquity, page 436:

Donna Clara was a woman of a cold and grave temper, with all the solemnity of a Spaniard, and all the austerity of a bigot.

inverted

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-inverted.wav

(chemistry, of sugar) Having its polarization changed by hydrolysis; see invert sugar.

Among the Normans, everywhere, homosexuality was markedly prevalent; the spread of sodomy in France about the eleventh century is attributed to the Normans, and their coming seems to have rendered it at times almost fashionable, at all events at court. In England, William Rufus was undoubtedly inverted, as later on were Edward II, James I, and, perhaps, though not in so conspicuous a degree, William III.

1927, Havelock Ellis, Studies in the Psychology of Sex, volume 2:

(dated, psychology) Homosexual, in terms of the sexual inversion theory.

Jewish lightning

From the stereotype of Jews engaging in this practice.

According to Manchu the fire had forced all the families upstairs to get out, the fire department had closed down the bar for repairs. Manchu said the bar wasn't bad off but the Jew collected all he could for fire and water damage ¶ "You mean it wasn't no Jewish lightning."

1974, Francis A. J. Ianni, Black Mafia; Ethnic Succession in Organized Crime, New York, N.Y., : Simon and Schuster, →ISBN, page 133:

I can refute any charges that it was a case of 'Jewish lightning', but I admit that the fire did happen at the most opportune moment!

1992, James Edmist, The Sterling Years: Small-Arms and the Men, London: Leo Cooper, →ISBN, page 45:

The torching of overinsured buildings was so common that arson became known as "Jewish lightning." Forty-four percent of the arson cases reported by the New York Times in the 1890s were linked to Jews.

[1996, William Kleinknecht, The New Ethnic Mobs: The Changing Face of Organized Crime in America, New York, N.Y. […]: The Free Press, →ISBN, page 31:

The insurance companies, many of which were Jewish, referred to "Jewish lightning" when unfortunate fires burned down warehouses in the East End.

[1996 October 28, Andrew Ross, quoting John le Carré, “John le Carr”, in Salon.com, archived from the original on 2022-05-20:

The fire was a mysterious and tragic event upon which Mom is unwilling to elaborate. Was it a case of spontaneous combustion, perhaps due to poor wiring or improper storage of bulk dry goods? Or was it a case of "Jewish lightning" (a suspicious fire caused in order to collect the insurance money)? This is another family mystery left unsolved with all the individuals involved long gone.

2012, Jane Genende, Lost Tribe of the Andes: A Jewish-American Family's Struggle With Assimilation, Bloomington, I.N.: iUniverse, Inc., →ISBN, pages 20–21:

Why not burn down the place and take the insurance? A little Jewish lightning never hurt anyone.

2019 December 27, “Being Harley Quinn”, in Harley Quinn, season 1, episode 5, spoken by Golda (Rhea Perlman):

(now offensive) A fire which is deliberately started to collect insurance money.

racialism

en-noun

racialism (countable and uncountable, plural racialisms)

From racial + -ism. Coined in 1882 based on the older use of "race" as a synonym of "nation, tribe, ethnic group", later senses (from 1890) from the use of "race" for racial categories.

This is The Lie of North American Superiority — an assumption based mainly on our superior living standard. […] This Lie of Superiority, this ill-disguised racialism in us who are always denouncing racialism in other people, is more than an unpleasant breach of good manners. It has deep and evil effects upon the affairs of the world.

Racialism and ultra-nationalism are a major part of the fascist doctrine. We all recall the Hitler emphasis on the Aryan race and I think you can visualize for a moment the Nazi propagandist telling the German people, "You are superior!" Nobody argues with this. If someone confronts you and says, "You know, I am firmly convinced you are the superior type," you don't deny it. […] So the selling of racialism is not nearly as difficult as it might on the surface appear to be. Coupled with this racialism, the ultra-nationalism suggests that if a race is superior why then should it confine itself to the limited territory in which if finds itself.

1959 September 23, E. B. Ader, “Conflicting Political and Economic Systems”, in Naval War College Review, page 8:

Racism, the belief in the existence of different races and the belief that some races are superior to other races; policies or practices which promote the dominance of one or more races over other races.


Waffen-SS

Borrowed from German Waffen-SS, from Waffe (“weapon”) + SS.


heterosexist

From heterosex(ual) + -ist; modelled on sexist.


drapetomania

Coined in 1851 by Samuel A. Cartwright as a name for a supposed mental illness that caused black slaves to flee captivity. Ancient Greek δραπέτης (drapétēs, “runaway slave”) + μανία (manía, “madness”).

uder

To prevent the full-blown development of drapetomania, exhibited by the actual running away of the slave, whipping is recommended as medical therapy; in a revealing allusion to its historical origins, the treatment is called "whipping the devil out of them."

1987, Thomas Stephen Szasz, Insanity: The Idea and Its Consequences, →ISBN, page 307:

Over the years, psychiatrists have quite properly rejected many other "disorders" that reflected earlier cultural prejudices, such as drapetomania, lack of vaginal orgasm, childhood masturbation disorder, masochism, and nymphomania (Wakefield, 1992).

1996, Carole Wade, Carol Tavris, Psychology, →ISBN, page 560:

Cartwright opined that following proper medical advice prevented drapetomania and its symptom (running away): The recommended cure was to keep slaves in their "natural" position of submission while providing for their needs, along with whipping at the onset of the disorder.

2006, Yo Jackson, Encyclopedia of Multicultural Psychology, →ISBN, page 158:

Forbidding alcohol, eliminating visits to neighbors at night, and withholding adequate food, shelter, and clothing also were measures taken to prevent drapetomania.

2008, Frederick T. Leong, Encyclopedia of Counseling - Volume 2, →ISBN:

(historical) The desire of slaves to run away, viewed as a mental illness.

漂泊狂

One of these is a supposed form of mental disease, termed by him "Drapetomania, which, like a malady that cats are liable to, manifests itself by an irrestrainable propensity to run away."

I thought I was a hypochondriac because my friends said that I was showing unnecessary concern about my health. Thanks to Dr. Cartwright I now know that I am a diseased man. I suffer from the acute stages of a chronic disease: drapetomania. I have the obsessive desire to run toward freedom. You have the right to know that a diseased man is near you because, and I say this carefully, drapetomania is contagious, and I am glad about it. As a drapetomaniac, I belong at a Freedom Fund Banquet.

1989, David Pilgrim, Race relations "above the veil": speeches, essays, and other writings:

Mark declined and moved into the dark cavern. Strobes and smoke created curtains of imminent light. "You viced up Marky?" said Nick. Faking something close to drapetomania, ...

I still flee from my home to chase dreams. Sometimes I manage to elude capture and sometimes I do not. Is that Drapetomania? Is that Squircular? What do you call it? No results found for squircle. In 2005, for the first time, I wrote but never publicized my personal experience with Drapetomania (or Squircular, if you prefer) in an essalogue with a seven syllable title: An Actor's Tale In the Crazy House with Christ!

2010, Summer Hill Seven (Raymond Abdul-Alim Ákbar), Squircular!: An Actor's Tale, →ISBN, page 87:

(dated) an overwhelming urge to run away (from home, a bad situation, responsibility, etc.)

rankism

rankism (usually uncountable, plural rankisms)

/ˈɹæŋkˌɪzəm/

From rank + -ism, probably by analogy with words like racism and sexism. It was coined by American physicist, author and social reformer Robert Works Fuller (born 1936).

The grading system is behind most forms of overt rankism in the schools. Many people blame the school entrance examinations, saying that rankism cannot be eliminated as long as the so-called examination hell remains.

1975, Japan Interpreter, volumes 10–11, Tokyo: Nihon Shakai Shisō Kenkyūsho [Center for Japanese Social and Political Studies], →ISSN, →OCLC, page 80:

Rankisms cannot be merely legislated away by an authoritarian system, although legislative efforts can help because they introduce and solidify a third-party socio-cultural role that is watching, judging, and may take action.

2006 June 6, Stanford Silver, “Applied Conflict Psychology”, in Process Work and the Facilitation of Conflict (unpublished Ph.D. dissertation), Cincinnati, Oh.: Union Institute & University, →OCLC, page 123:

Rankism is a degrading assertion of rank. It's what's happening when a person, a group, or nation acts as if it outranks another and attempts to demean, humiliate, or exploit it.

2012 August 12, Robert Fuller, “Rankism: The poison that destroys relationships”, in The Huffington Post, archived from the original on 2015-03-16:

Abuse, discrimination, or exploitation based on rank.


racialist

1910 (noun), 1917 (adjective). racial + -ist, from older racialism (1882).


anti-homosexualism

I write 'homosexuality ' with some trepidation, since anti-homosexualism is a prejudice as discreditable as anti-semitism; and I am not the late Roy Campbell. Recent legislation, though, makes a difference, lightening matters for critics, and biographers as well. If a heterosexual subject went markedly after women, his biographer will usually say so. It may be relevant; and It may be no less relevant if a subject of a different constitution went 'markedly after men.

Such terrors about people with aids are only a blurred line away from anti-homosexualism. Violence against homosexuals has risen.

[R]ealize that racism, sexism, and anti-homosexual attitudes and actions are not simply problems for those on the receiving end but problems for everyone. Racism is not only a black problem, it is also a white problem with consequences for the entire society. Sexism is not only a women's problem, but a men's problem as well, with consequences for the entire society. Anti-homosexualism likewise is not simply a gay and lesbian problem, but a problem for the entire society.

1999, Edward E. Sampson, Dealing with Differences: An Introduction to the Social Psychology of Prejudice (Harcourt College Pub)

(rare, somewhat dated) Homophobia; prejudice against homosexual (gay) people.


removalist

2005, Chris Cooper, Kym Weatherly (editor), Behind the Private Eye: Surveillance Tales & Techniques, self published, Australia, page 63,
It was nearly two hours before there was any further movement, but our wait was richly rewarded as the old Holden returned, together with a large removalist truck.

2006, Allison Burnett, The House Beautiful: A Novel of High Ideals, Low Morals, and Lower Rent, Avalon Publishing, US, page 96,
I had wanted to spend the previous night at Pip′s place, so that I could be there when the removalists arrived, but Pip nixed the plan, claiming that my presence would distract him from “pack-pack.”

2011, James Adonis, Corporate Punishment: Smashing the Management Clichs for Leaders in a New World, John Wiley & Sons Australia, page 8,
She moved her furniture across without a whimper or a hint of worry. I, on the other hand, hired a removalist just to take my bed from one bedroom to the other.

2011, Tim Bonyhady, Good Living Street, Allen & Unwin, Australia, page 1,
Nineteen thirty-eight was a good year to be a removalist in Vienna. As tens of thousands fled the city following the German annexation of Austria, the Nazis seized their businesses, requiring them to pay punitive departure taxes, prevented them from converting their remaining money into foreign currency and stole much of their art. The refudees were usually able to leave with their other household goods, however, because the Nazis were eager to maintain the pretence that Austria′s Jews were leaving voluntarily, and wanted other countries to take them. The result was a surge in demand for removalists in a city where it was common to rent the same apartment for life.

“Three years on, it was time to return home, and the removalists were going through our rooms at lightning speed.”

2020, Kirsty Needham, “The long arm of authoritarian China reached into my seven-year-old’s bedroom”, in The Sydney Morning Herald:

(chiefly Australia) A person or company who specialises in domestic removals, that is, the transportation of household contents when moving house.

Germany's appearance as a colonizing power in Africa was greeted in no unfriendly spirit by either France or Great Britain. Each of the latter felt that it was already possessed of about all it could comfortably look after, and both realized that another shoulder under "The White Man's Burden" in the Dark Continent might make the load easier for all.

1915 October 6, Lewis Ransome Freeman, “Germany's Exit From Africa”, in The World's Work, volume XXX:

So into at least one state troops poured, a battalion of decent National Service lads, to continue to carry, posthumously as it must be supposed, the White Man's Burden.

sexualism (usually uncountable, plural sexualisms)

We find analogous phenomena in this Medical sexualism.

A suggestion I have for the University is to highlight more the close link between sexism and sexualism (my personal word for discrimination based on sexuality).

Oh my. Sexism ("bitch"), sexualism ("gay") and racism ("gooks") all in just two lines.

2001 June 20, Douglas Reay, “BLIZZARD FUCK YOU”, in alt.games.diablo (Usenet):

“Ours is a sexualist society,” Evan began. “In particular, we have come to believe in constraints on the love which can exist between women and women, and men and men. Unlike other cultures and other times, we have made the gender of our beloved, and not the quality of the love, the overriding issue. This sexualism is pervasive and insidious.”

2015 -, Marc Solomon, Winning Marriage, →ISBN:

The belief that one set of sexual behaviors is intrinsically superior to another set of sexual behaviors, or prejudice and discrimination based on that belief.

Far less identified with the party than the old Freikorps (anticommunist vigilante groups active just after World War I) mercenaries, the new element saw in the SS the true elite organization of the Nazi regime, and did not hesitate to attempt Gleichschaltungs within the Gleichschaltung, that is, to have the SS take over already Nazified organizations.

1973, Dietrich Orlow, The History of the Nazi Party: 1933–1945, volume 2, Pittsburgh, PA: University of Pittsburgh Press, →ISBN, page 181:

Consequently, Croatia’s new leaders have lost little time in purging these last outposts of the old regime. In the name of democracy and human rights, all the media will henceforth be sympathetic to the new government, a process of Gleichschaltung that is being cheered on by the West.

2000 April 15, John Laughland, “Full circle for communism: Under EU plan, Croatia is starting to resemble old communist Yugoslavia”, in The Gazette, Montreal, page B5:

So what we have today is a university whose uniqueness is to be attacked and destroyed so that it falls in line where a gleichschaltung is achieved, a non dissenting institution with dead pan faces, with caste identities or communal hatred pervasive, unquestioning students roaming around writing meaningless objective type exams for different testing services.

2017 February 10, Rakesh Batabyal, “Casteism and communalism are delegitimising the institutions that have built JNU”, in Hindustan Times:

The forced standardization of political and social institutions under an authoritarian regime, originally with reference to Nazi Germany.

In Amerikkka, this movement is evident from efforts to control the institutions serving and located within Black communities.

1970 July, “White Ethics and Black Power: The Emergence of the West Side Organization”, in Black World/Negro Digest, volume 19, number 9, page 83:

We have said […] that one of the greatest dangers of the continuance of the Vietnam war was that […] it would lead to an inevitable rise of fascism at home. Now that the U.S. is spreading the aggression in Indo-China the danger is coming icily close. The Black Panthers believe this is already a Fascist Amerikkka; we can understand this view from the black ghetto. We happen to hold that many Americans will resist, and there may be a Civil War in which thousands, if not millions, will die. Feeling thus, it is hard to get enthused about cleaning up the Hudson. There is a strong suspicion that Earth Day was a diversion, for at that very moment plans were being put in operation in Washington to spread death and destruction to Cambodia.

War is war — but we need to understand how wrong it is to see the temporary triumph of fascist villainy as the destruction, once and for all, of the German people and the inauguration of an eternal kingdom of Hitlerian darkness.

2019, Vasily Grossman, translated by Robert Chandler and Yury Bit-Yunan, Stalingrad, page 220:

Of, relating to, or resembling Hitler (the German chancellor) or his actions.


Hitlerian

Since a German Communist state existed, a state peaceful and democratic by definition, it became more difficult to speak of crimes committed by Germans in general. Poles were confronted with a kind of "Marxization" of the German problem that had to be resolved in terms of classes: in the east were the good Germans because they were progressive; in the west, the bad Germsans, reactionaries, heirs of Nazism, even more-or-less camouflaged Hitlerians.

Much of the language used when discussing wedding planning is heteronormative, which can alienate homosexual couples.

This suggests both that film studies can be heteronormative even when it is analyzing homosexual representations and that close textual analysis is itself structured by heterosexual presumptions and assumptions.

1997 Summer, John Champagne, ““Stop Reading Films!”: Film Studies, Close Analysis, and Gay Pornography”, in Cinema Journal, volume 36, number 4, →ISSN, →JSTOR, page 82:

[2022 December 23, Annie Lowrey, “Why Is Elon Musk Lighting Billions of Dollars on Fire?”, in The Atlantic, archived from the original on 2022-12-26:

By the way, the buried lede of this is that 60 percent of this school board is LGBT, is gay. The question is, do Christians run for school boards as much as the LGBT community does? No. As I said yesterday, which is groomers can't reproduce, so instead they recruit. So, they go serve on school boards. And they go do drag queens. And they do all this other sort of disgusting nauseating stuff.

2023 March 3, Charlie Kirk, quotee, “Charlie Kirk: "Groomers can't reproduce, so instead they recruit. They go serve on school boards."”, in Media Matters, archived from the original on 2023-03-04:

Attacks against these librarians and administrative employees started to multiply over a year ago when a new Facebook group called Two Moms and Some Books was born. “I think the lowest point, at least for me, is when they started calling us groomers,” said a current librarian who we will call Avery. “That’s not really a word you throw around to people, even people you don’t like.”

Calque of French la nuit, tous les chats sont gris (“at night, all cats are grey”), sometimes understood with vulgar reference to secondary senses of cat and pussy.

[Of a widow:] And to make carnall appetite content,
To take lacke of beautie but as an eye ſore.
The fayre and the foule, by darke are lyke ſtore.
When all candels be out, all cats be grey,
All thingis are then of one colour, as who ſey.
And this prouerbe ſaith, for quenching hot deſyre,
Foule water as ſoone as fayre, will quenche hot fyre.

1719, Peter Motteux & al. translating Miguel de Cervantes as The History of the Renowed Don Quixote de la Mancha, Vol. III, p. 307

The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.

1745 June 25, Benjamin Franklin, "Advice to a Friend on Choosing a Mistress"

... at laft [King Croquignolet] gained intelligence of a famous wizard in the land of Gotham, a very prodigy of ſcience, to whom the world is indebted for old Robin's Almanack, the Court Calendar, the Attorney's Vade-Mecum, the Lady's Diary, and the Gentleman's Magazine... He firſt made known to mankind that after a ſtorm comes a calm; that it is day when the ſun is riſen; that dead men tell no tales; that ſhops ſhut are a ſure ſign of Sunday; that all cats are grey in the dark; that as ſoon as the ſun is ſet, there are many beaſts in the ſhade.

1796, "R.C." translating Marguerite de Lubert as Princess Coquedoeuf and Prince Bonbon: A History..., p. 8

However—the Frenchman's a practical man... He's trained to spot the redeeming graces as adroitly as a highly bred pig sniffs truffles. And faced with the homeliest dame he'll work over her until he can say, "Yes—she's certainly homely, but she has 'delightful ears'"; or "and exciting back to her neck"; or "provocative biceps." And the worst he cares to admit about any woman is "Yes, she is very ugly, but she has 'something' (Elle a quelque chose)." And if you get him in a cynical but wholesome mood he'll indicate that after all, "All cats are grey at night!"

1937, "They Order It Better in France", Esquire, Vol. 8, No. 3, p. 209

In one poem, unjustly attributed to Voltaire, the regent was accused of conducting an affaire with his eldest daughter, the Duchesse de Berry, which seems to have been true. The libertine regent loved women, but none more than his remarkable mother Liselotte, and it was to her that he uttered the famous rebuke when she complained he chose such ugly mistresses: "Bah! Mama, all cats look gray in the dark!"

1991, Marie-Christine Anna Agnes Hedwig Ida von Reibnitz, Cupid and the King, p. 56

"All Japanese look alike" is the racist counterpart to the sexist "In the dark, all cats are gray."
