GUEST,Guy Who Thinks	BS: What means bigot? (76* d)	RE: BS: What means bigot?	09 Mar 05
The only current meaning of bigot in America that I'm aware of is that of a person who is thoroughly prejudiced against some other ethnic group or groups. It's about the same as "racist," except that "bigotry" covers religious and national as well as racial hatreds. Also, a "bigot" may not be quite as aggressive or violent a racist. To describe Hitler, for example, as "bigoted" against Jews and others, would be accurate but curiously incomplete. The context means a lot. If you think of a bigot as covering prejudiced "idiots" as well as prejudiced "bastards" you won't be far wrong.
