  • Bigot, as Morgan Horse answered, has pretty much exactly the denotation you want. However, it also has connotations that make it less than ideal for some applications:

    • In my experience it connotes conscious, and even enthusiastic, discrimination.
    • It’s usually read as perjorative.
    • What do some people think about bigots?

    In places where these connotations can be undesirable—for example, in sociology research, where the discriminatory behavior under investigation is often unconscious, and researcher tend to avoid making explicit moral judgments about their subjects—the more vague but more neutral adjective biased is sometimes used instead, its meaning being made clear from context.
