That's an or-ed list -- it says...
...NOTHING about disliking people of another race, but only "for their mannerisms customs and actions". That list means "disliking people of another group OR disliking people of another religion OR disliking people of another race OR disliking people who espouse different political opinions"; i.e, using the third element of the list, it's totally equal to plain old racism.
The other option, if we define element four as equivalent to your "for their mannerisms customs and actions", says NOTHING ABOUT RACE -- an equal-opportunity political/"mannerisms customs and actions" bigot is supposed to dislike people who differ from himself on those criteria EVEN WHEN they are of the SAME RACE as himself.
Your "defintion" seems to be a muddling-up of at least two different separate concepts (i.e, possible meanings of the word "bigot"), and I don't think you're going to find it reflected in ANY regular dictionary.

caught your punctuation mistake
The correct wording is: "for their mannerisms, customs and actions".
You missed the required comma.
HTH!

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

Sure you caught a mistake, lad - but not mine. HTH!
That was a direct quote1 from post #281532. Take it up with the BOx, whydoncha.
1: That's what the "quotation marks" mean, you see. (To people who know their punctuation, that is.)

Since your post was far away from his
and not listed as a direct repsonse to that specific post, I could not see that you were quoting The Box.
You are correct: it's The Box's punctuation error, not yours.

Wow!! Box made a punctuation error?
Get away! Never! Really? Do tell...
Listen children, you're adolescents now, so act like adults...
Fuck, if Bill gets one word in ten approximately correct when in shitkicker mode, he's way ahead of his normal game. It usually means that he's drunker than usual or can't remember exactly where he's currently being a shitkicker from.
In the mean time, go play in traffic, the both of you...
