The Lt. Gov. of South Carolina, Andre Bauer, is a good example of a bigot, in my viewpoint. The following quote of his demonstrates this:

"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better," Bauer said.

Now, that is an example of a South Carolina bigot.
