I am strongly partial to my own friends and in general I am partial to Americans (me being one). I am not religious. Race does not play a role with me as numbered among my friends are those from different races...and of course Americans are of multiple races. I am partial to those of the same political persuasion as myself (a moderate with liberal leanings)...and I am not intolerant of those that legitimately differ.

So what is the count? By my count I meet two out of the five criteria for being a bigot. I suspect that you or not many will fare much better if they are honest.
