Characterism

If I recall correctly, I believe Martin Luther King Jr. stated his wish for a place where a man could be judged by the content of his character.  I guess somebody somewhere would say he had a bigoted viewpoint because he condoned a form of judging.  Rather than being a racist, he was a characterist.  He advocated favorable treatment of those who had good character.  I wish everybody was a characterist.  But sadly, characterism seems to be frowned upon.  I think many people may actually equate it with racism.  What a sad mindset that is.
