I take this and Lad's other statements to mean he is OK with discrimination if it is for a good reason.

Precisely the argument used by bigots for forever.

This absolutely need to paint with a broad brush about “discrimination” and to label someone a bigot is just mind boggling to me.

Definition of bigot:
a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.

Kind of hits you dead on in this instance.

Are we going for 4 words that you stick your head in the sand on now? You are carving quite the path at this point.

And yes, support for any racially-dependent program in my book would be a good way towards bigoted stance in the sub-definition.

"one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance"

Change the last 'and' to an 'or' and it is a dead ringer in my book. Saved by an 'and' I guess.
