This is a weird claim. Being bigoted has clearly been the majority opinion for almost all of human history. That's why it has been a problem, because they have had serious power and they have used it.

Bigots being in the minority would mean that the problem has largely gone away.

Except now they're desperate, so each bigot is a bigger problem than they used to be.

Does not follow.
