    People can become bigots for a variety of reasons. Many are fully aware of their prejudices, and feel they have justification. Bigots are nearly as diverse as people as the those they dislike.

      A worldview that is incompatible with the cooperation of society. If you want to go play apologist for a bigot you might as well be one.
