I may make some boring, bland comments, and does that make me boring or bland. No -- dealing with that statement as it is and as it stands alone is a racist statement.

Youm might let a coach call you a bigot and laugh it off because hey it could be true -- but to me thats a personal attack and a racist one at I am going to toss him for that.
Please, explain to me in small, easy to understand words (because I'm a bear of very little brain) why a coach calling you a bigot is a racist remark. As I understand it, racism by its very nature is not about character, it's about race. So where do you find the racism in this comment?
