She doesn’t really provide a way to distinguish bigots from non-bigots, except to repeat two fallacies:
1.) The majority of a population cannot be bigoted.

Hate. Hold it in your heart long enough, and eventually it eats everything in it that was ever you. The Enemy is all there is, and the war all that ever was. The world is that which is with you, and that which is against you. No weapon is too contemptible, no virtue more noble. You become the weapon, and the only morality a weapon has is whatever the hand that holds it has. Hate. Hate.
