You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the limitlessness of human belligerence.
Not exactly? I don't think. I think your referring to the belligerence of humanity as a whole. While I'm talking about individual action.
If you personally run across someone bigoted, it would be better for both of you, if you tried to be their friend. It'll help you both see past your different prejudices.
The real bigots don't see past their prejudices, that's why they're bigots.
People can become bigots for a variety of reasons. Many are fully aware of their prejudices, and feel they have justification. Bigots are nearly as diverse as people as the those they dislike.
A worldview that is incompatible with the cooperation of society. If you want to go play apologist for a bigot you might as well be one.
Who's worldview is incompatible? Mine or theirs? Or both?
And who's apologizing? I'm simply point out that they're a diverse group, with diverse motivations.
