It's not bigotry to "discriminate" against bigots. It would be bigotry not to.

Fundamentally, bigotry requires making the mistake of believing that background characteristics -- the stuff people don't chose for themselves, can't change about themselves, and has no moral importance -- define tribes that are in competition.

The core of racism isn't the false belief that race X is better than race Y, it's that races even exist in a way that is morally relevant. Race is not a biological fact, it's a sociological construct, and it's morally neutral.
