MBAs aren’t something people are born into or end up through no choice of their own. Bigotry against MBAs is impossible.

It’s like being a loan shark or pimp. People actively choose that life and society talks poorly about them because of the social harm they bring. There’s nothing stopping someone from washing their hands of any of those things and being productive.

Not every critical or mean-spirited comment is bigotry. You got your fee-fees hurt because there’s probably some truth to the comment, even if it’s mean. Buck up, quit complaining, prove the parent comment wrong in your day-to-day work. Right now you’re just deepening a few MBA stereotypes at the moment.

Before you commented, I thought "there is nothing in this world an MBA can't make worse" was a bit too harsh. Now, I see it's actually accurate.

The problem here is the use of identity "I AM an MBA" rather than mere posession "I have an MBA" or even "I have been awarded an MBA". You've made a certificate into part of your identity and are getting into fights on that basis.

"Engineer" can at least be a verb. I don't think MBA can?

Now that's bigotry.

I hate to break it to you, but if you have a problem with 'technical types', this might not be the best place to hang out...

You're being responded by a bunch of resentful engineers, but you're correct; it's the definition of bigotry.
