Best Answer

The definition of intolerance according to the Webster's dictionary: 1 lack of tolerance of other people's opinions, beliefs, etc. 2 an allergy or sensitivity to some food, medicine, etc. Regarding the first definition, it often carries a meaning of being prejudiced or bigoted, having no willingness to listen to the views of people with whom you disagree. A person who is intolerant towards African-Americans, for example, is prejudiced against them or does not want to be around them. With regard to the second definition, it is seen in expressions like "lactose-intolerant"-- in other words, unable to properly digest (or in some cases, being highly allergic to) food with lactose in it.
