By your definition of "asshole", are openly bigoted people not assholes because they're not "an asshole to everyone equally"?

But that's not the definition that was given:

> These people are assholes because they know they can get away with it.

So yes, openly bigoted people are assholes. But if they knew their bigotry wouldn't fly, they would at least not be open about it and not be assholes to people.
