No, you don't wiggle out from under the stone you hide like a cockroach. A bigot is someone hating or despising a group of people for simply belonging to that group. Not liking people doing that doesn't make one a bigot. The difference between todays left and the extreme right is, that the left doesn't make statements like legalizing and endorsing torture or propose to bomb civilians, just because they belong to a certain group. In short, only the extreme right dehumanizes to score some brownie points with primitives.
Yes, I don't like these people, since they're out to make the world a worse place. A place of exclusion because of the coincidence of birth. A place where once again the concept of humans and subhumans is introduced.
