John, in the past you have made many many bigoted remarks. Show me one
I've made.

"Are you suggesting this because they are both black? Seems to be the
only common thread of the two."

Taken out of context, that could be considered bigoted. Mr. Woods does
not consider himself a "black" American as he is of mixed
race/ethnicity, but because his skin color is brown and of relatively
the same hue and tone as President Obama, you assumed he considered
himself a Black American - you've stereotyped Mr. Woods as an African
American when he isn't - by his own description.

To carry this even further as an intellectual exercise, bigoted may be
the wrong word as bigoted is defined as "utterly intolerant of any
creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own" which seems a
little out of context.

A better way to have put it would be to substitute biased for bigoted
because bias leads to prejudice which is described as "a person's bias
is based on facts, but prejudice occurs without a person knowing or
examining the facts".

Thus, you are actually prejudiced because you assumed that Mr. Woods
is black.

Just sayin.

Although I did find it mighty interesting that Mr. Woods only "dated"
white women a majority of which were blond.

If THAT isn't stereotypical, I don't know what is. :)

Oh, and before you go all icky balooky, the above was done in jest - a
way to point out the absurdity of placing everything into the
perspective of "race".
