No, buddy...bigotry is applying the most derogatory terms you can think of, to denigrate other people's cultural practices.
Your “cultural practices” ends when it harms another sentient being. Funny how you also want to harm the animals for selfish reasons by pushing misinformation on the plant-based diet to make excuses to eat the flesh and secretions of others.
The main purpose of male circumcision is to prevent harm. Funny how you are so passionate about a subject you don't even understand. You have the whole idea backwards.
The motive might be to prevent harm, but motive does not justify actions. Parents literally used to beat children, to make them more obedient and thereby "protecting" them. Some parents today will prevent their child being vaccinated from life threatening diseases, because in their culture vaccines are seen as bad, and their warped view of medicine makes them think they are protecting their children.
Motive is not justification.
