Does calling a bigot a bigot do anything to change their mind? I admire your stance but I wonder what you hope to gain by it?

For me its a bit like calling a crazy person crazy, they either wont agree with you and say "I'm not Crazy, some of my best friends are sane..." but by going head on against them you will never convince them otherwise. The people who actually are crazy and know it are unlikely to be bothered by you calling them nuts.
