Tortuous, and faulty, imho, logic.
For example - I think that the Klu Klux Klan, who treated African-Americans as a lesser race, lynched them, and terrorised them by setting fire to houses, churches, and beating those who stepped out of line, were bigots.
I think those who ran the apartheid regime in South Africa, treating the original inhabitants of the country as third-class citizens with less rights because they had a different colour of skin, were bigots.
Lynching people is not "a difference of opinion".
