Well you can downvote me all you like, but it's just not bigotry. Merriam-Webster defines bigotry as the state of mind of "one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance".
This is just not the case, so first of all you are wrong.
And second of all, that you think one should spend his charity with maximum (perceived) efficiency is just _your_ ethical view.
I give charity to the Dutch cancer battle fund. I don't do this to save anyone I love, they are either already dying of cancer and won't be helped because of my donation or have already died.
A majority of people will never live to die of cancer. It is a disease that kills rich healthy people. Yet I give as much to them as I give to unicef. It is because the disease hits close to home.
Anyway, that might make me an egoist. But not a nationalist bigot. And frankly I think it was hateful of you to introduce those slurs into this conversation.
