If the person is being a bigot, just call the person a bigot (which is what I thought you did). If they are an extreme bigot, call them an extreme bigot. Bringing in the concepts racist and racism are not as evident just from reading that particular article.
I did call him a bigot. We've jump off course with the debate.

I'm just debating that being close is just as bad. But, that's my opinion, I won't throw that in as fact.

My beliefs is that the problem with racism these days is that alot of it is "subliminal" and it can be "defended" because it's dressed up in intellectual conversation.
