On the contrary:
"""One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ."""
It applies very well to people intolerant of other groups, ethnicity or race.
- missosoup 6y agoIt's not restricted to ethnicity, groups or race. Bigotry is merely the refusal to entertain different beliefs; whatever their groupby factor may be. Cherry-picking parts of the definition to meet one's idea of what it 'should' be, is the actual meaning of bigotry. Please refer to the Oxford dictionary definition if you're still confused.

- secondcoming 6y agoWell, I guess there's a little bit of a bigot in everyone! It may sound like an insult but really isn't.
