A bigoted person doesn't tolerate the opinions of others, and never rethinks their position. Usually when we call people bigoted, they are hostile to those who are different — either by race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. While the "-ed" construction of the word might be a bit misleading, someone bigoted is the one expressing bigotry, not the one afflicted by it.
