A bigot is an individual that holds degrading, or otherwise hateful beliefs for an entire community of people based on innate characteristics, e.g., race, sexual orientation, gender, etc. Many people often confuse this term for being intolerant of others opinions which is somewhat misleading because it is possible to be intolerant of opinions and still hold no beliefs of superiority over others who are different than you. The line is crossed from varying opinions into bigotry when a person sincerely believes that people who are born with a different skin color, sexual orientation, gender, identity or ability is subpar and merits subpar status under the law and in general society.
My grandfather complains about "minorities" not knowing their place nowadays. I went to visit him in the nursing home yesterday and he was sitting there watching FOX News rambling on about "fags" getting married and "BlackLivesMatters" protesters. He seems to always rant about others getting "special" rights when really they are the same rights he has had all along. The arrogance of this bigot is stunning but it made it that much easier to put him in Shady Pines.
