A positive word for "intolerance towards intolerant people"
Is there any positive word that means "Intolerance towards intolerant people"?
If I need just one word to describe in a positive way the majority of people in a country who have now become intolerant towards sexist people or racist people what word can be used to describe such a situation, a situation where tolerance for sexist or racist people has decreased?
Thinking that you wanted to imply negative connotations, I had suggested self-righteous, but if you want to imply positive connotations, perhaps you can use righteous
I can't think of a term that is specific against intolerance, but the people of the country may be:
Principled: acting in accordance with morality and showing recognition of right and wrong.
Scrupulous: very concerned to avoid doing wrong.
Punctilious: showing great attention to correct behaviour.
or as a whole have:
Probity: the quality of having strong moral principles; honesty and decency.
How about indignation (and indignant)?
indignation: strong displeasure at something considered unjust, offensive, insulting, or base; righteous anger.
indignant: angered at something unjust or wrong.
More and more people have become indignant about racism
Righteous anger is typically a reactive emotion of anger over perceived mistreatment, insult, or malice. It is akin to what is called the sense of injustice. In some Christian doctrines, righteous anger is considered the only form of anger which is not sinful, e.g., when Jesus drove the money lenders out of the temple (Gospel of Matthew 21). -- Wikipedia
