Because you view it from your own national context. As I said above. Bigotry was directed at entirely different groups when the phrase came to be. Bigotry against blacks is an entirely new development where I live. Now it does exist, usually in connection with drug dealings. But until my late 20ies, I hardly ever saw black persons in my country.
