1. Bigotry covers racial bigotry -- set includes subset.
2. It has nothing to do with imagining who is bigoted, as the TSA has a history of employing some bigots.
3.Ethnic minorities in the employ of the TSA can be bigoted too.
4. There is, but not always and everywhere.
5. There is, but not always and everywhere.
6. They exist.
