Bigotry is as it says, bigotry. You should make fun of people for being bigots.
The thing about being bigoted, is that it's literally impossible to avoid. You don't get to not be bigoted. You just get to pick which form of bigotry you prefer.
I understand your point, but I believe that it's human nature to have biases. Labeling it as unavoidable bigotry seems a bit pessimistic. We can strive to recognize and challenge our biases, encouraging empathy and understanding instead. It's a continuous process, not a fixed state of being.
It's not pessimistic at all because it's not bad to be bigoted. I didn't say it was humanly impossible to not be a bigot. I said it was literally impossible.
The point I'm making is that there is no such thing as not being bigoted.
