What is the term for "One who is prejudiced"?
I was thinking of a hypothetical situation in my head where someone calls someone else a sexist or a racist without much reason or backing and then the person being called as such responds with-
and then I stopped, I have no idea if there's a word for "one who is prejudiced", can someone help me out here?
I'm just looking for a term that means "one who is prejudiced", guys, the argument was just a scenario without any real meaning and I'm not making any overarching statements about what it means to be prejudiced or any racial issue here.

Bigot is a favorite of mine.
If you want to sound clever and puzzle the illiterate feminists you can use 'chauvinist'.
Chauvinist does not only refer to men who are prejudiced against women but any person who has a over-rated opinion of his own point of view and group be they male women black or white.
A bigoted patriot, you can call a Jingoist too.

Prejudiced means you prefer one over the other. It doesn't mean you HATE the other one and want them to die. It is the most mis-used word in our society today. If a person choses to marry only within their race I've heard them called bigots and worse. Not true. Most races prefer to be with their own kind and don't need to be called deragatory names for it. Another word for prejudice is preference; and it's not a bigoted sin to feel that way.

You want a synonym for that collection of words? I'm having a hard time following what's happening in this scenario.
Someone calls someone else racist for no reason, and that person defending is doing... what exactly? How are they defending? I can't answer quite properly without knowing the end result.
