    From Merriam-Webster:

    Bigot
    : a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
    especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

    Synonyms include dogmatist, partisan, and sectarian.

    Here’s an article that may help you to understand why you are a bigot a bit better: https://www.existbetter.co/single-post/2019/04/15/Bigotry-is-a-SymptomHow-to-Handle-a-Bigot

    Hopefully we can eliminate hate of all kinds from this world.

      Racial or ethnic groups are made up of people who did not have a choice about their race or ethnicity. While indoctrination from childhood can certainly cause a person’s religious views, and work alongside community pressure to keep them pinned in place, ultimately an individual is responsible for their own thoughts. Criticizing someone for what they think is not bigotry.

        Maybe it’s blocked in your country. I had no trouble accessing the article.

        EDIT: Looks like the website got deleted after I linked it. Weird.
