Belittling Non-Jews

Question

Is it proper to belittle non-Jews?

Answer

It’s wrong to belittle non-Jews who observe the Noahide laws. The Talmud (Sanhedrin 102b; Tosefta 13:2) says that the righteous of the nations have a share in the World to Come, and this is confirmed by Maimonides in Hilchos Teshuvah 3:5.
