People use the word "bigot" to define the following:
Anyone who is white *and*:
1. Is a Christian
2. Votes Republican
3. Opposes same-sex marriage, abortion, medical marijuana, universal health-care, etc.
I support same-sex marriage and medical marijuana, but oppose abortion and universal health care. So I guess that makes me a bigot.
No, it makes you sexist and libertarian.
being a bigot is not exclusive to whites, nor is it exclusively against blacks; your views sound like they're policy-based as opposed to prejudice-based, so while I strongly disagree (and frankly think that you're not in possession of the most important facts in either case), those positions can't be called bigoted.
