A form of bigotry that uses the language and authority of “evidence” to justify prejudice, exclusion, or harm. The evidence‑based bigot demands “evidence” for claims made by marginalized groups, sets impossibly high standards, and then uses the failure to meet those standards as proof that the group is irrational or fraudulent. It is often deployed against religious, spiritual, or indigenous beliefs, but also against survivors of trauma, whose testimony is dismissed as “anecdotal.” Evidence‑based bigotry weaponizes the rhetoric of empiricism while ignoring the limits and biases of evidence itself.
