Exactly. I've certainly met a few bigots and they tended to not only be wary of those that were different but to also believe they were superior, I just don't think they realized it, but it wasn't just plain supremacy. Here's the definition of arrogance: offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride. It is the overbearing pride that I seemed to see, I think. I think pride led them to be unable to see anyone else's point of view, for instance.
