Sure.  I am OK with that.  Share the burden of being inconvenienced and work together for the common goal.
I actually prefer the word "unfairness" or "inconvenience" to the word "bigotry".  But, I think it FEELS like bigotry to some people so I was validating Melinda's feelings.  (Sorry, I am from Northern California and processing feelings for hours on end is the local sport.)
