You did it again. You're comparing a medical condition to a race. How on Earth are you justifying that in your head as not bigoted? You can hide behind all the isms you want, but you're still the one saying that black people are like a disease (and yeah, the International Classification of Diseases says it's still a disease. I'd figure you of all people would sooner opt for international standards rather than American ones).

Bigoted Maybe in your mind where being autistic is considered a bad thing, but I for one don't think that autism is inherently a bad thing, in fact it allows for unique perspectives.

I'm in a mind where you're implying that the racial stereotypes of black people is tantamount to a disease and can only be helped by medication and therapy. Which is a pretty bigoted thing to say.
