    they might try to rationalize their discrimination, and they might attempt to make it logical for application in law and other contexts - it’s important to show the irrationality, not because I expect the bigotry and discrimination to be rational, but because so many others might think it is rationally defensible and not see the contradictions. Not that hypocrisy dunking is always effective, but it’s at least worth pointing out.
