If you believe that Members of group X are innately bad - that is to say, intrinsically worse than all other humans, whether the claim be that each individual is flawed, or that a higher percentage is flawed - by virtue of the subgroup into which they are born - then yes, you are a bigot.
Even if you say, "I'm not a bigot, BUT--"
Even if you phrase it in the pious hypocrisy of "Just because group X is bad doesn't mean it's okay to exterminate them."
You're still a bigot, if you believe that. Even if you're just approvingly quoting someone else saying that rather than formulating your own argument.
If you don't understand that, then you're a stupid bigot, too.
