But before you start with Jesse define Racist?
1: based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks"
His "Hymie town" comment defined him.
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334
[ Since the definition of a racist is synonomist with a bigot, here is the dictionary definition.
__________________________________________________
No, you are wrong.
The two are not "synonymous".
There is a very large difference between a racist and a bigot.
Mainly that a "racist" believes that one race is inherently superior to another and(and this the important part) the superior race has a right to rule over the inferior race.

Then we must be using 2 different dictionarys. My Merrian-Webster lists bigot as a synonym for racist. It also fails to mention that a racist believes his race has the right to rule another.

If the book contains the definition you describe then the book is wrong.
No legitimate definition of Racist can leave out that the "superior" race has a right to rule the inferior.
Bigot, racist and predjudiced are three distinct words with three precise and very different meanings.
Archie Bunker is a bigot.
Hitler was a racist.

Your quotation marks are there for sarcasm, right?
I didn't think you could answer my questions...
I think when Jesus said "love your enemy" he probably meant don't kill them.
