No,
stating that Christians
have those views isn't bigotry. Stating those views as being
true (as the prof did) is bigotry.
And "racism" and "bigotry" are
not interchangeable terms. Don't try to equate them for rhetorical purposes.
Racism is:
"a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others."
Bigotry is:
"stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own."
(Both from dictionary.com.)
