For the record, I never called anyone a bigot.
I said blocking a continent is
at worst bigotry.
So in the first case I was referencing the behaviour rather than calling names, and secondly blocking a large area based on pre-conceived ideas is potentially motivated by a subtle form of bigotry.
As for ignorance...I can hardly think of a finer example than making assumptions about people you have never even seen (because you blocked them).

Are all the people who go to the Asian page ignorant and a bigot because they are then dismissing the US, Canada, Australian, European, etc etc models?
Not at all, visitors to the Asian homepage are not
blocking US/Aust etc, which would be an active and conscious dismissal as we're discussing, they're just forced to choose one or the other at any given time, if all the models were displayed on the same page and they had the opportunity to block regions they didn't want to see - that would be a comparable situation.
Whether or not the Asian homepage is partly a product of racism itself is another kettle of fish and one that has been debated previously.
