I reread it several times before asking the question to begin with. I asked because it would seem odd to point out “but for certain groups bigotry increased” when I was discussing bigotry writ large. It isn’t really responsive to the original claim I was making. The rest of your post discussing the other time periods also read as a very general statement so I was confused… 
You also proceeded to make the general statement that “racism is greater now than before”, so I wasn’t really sure if that argument went hand-in-hand with your earlier one.
