No, it's racism. It's only anti-semetism if they're muslims or jews of Italian descent. Italians are caucasian, generally speaking, but they come in a variety of colours.
Racism implicitly requires that race be involved. As to bigotry:
big·ot noun \ˈbi-gət\ : a person who strongly and unfairly dislikes other people, ideas, etc. : a bigoted person; especially : a person who hates or refuses to accept the members of a particular group (such as a racial or religious group)
You fail English? That's unpossible!
You do realize that makes me want to paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, right? If you don't get along with people simply because of their race, religion, national origin, hair colour, race, or culture, or sexual preference, then you might be a bigot. If you tend to think that all people of a particular race, religion, national origin, hair colour, race, or culture, or sexual preference all behave in the same way, then you might be a bigot. I believe that people are referring to the sort of names that Ford uses for different groups, when they accuse him of being a bigot. Barring evidence to the contrary, I would tend to agree. He comes off like a R rated Archie Bunker, when recorded in private.
What about when he's ranting about the "f***ing minorities" and dropping n-bombs left right and centre?
If your a bigot against a race...your also a racist..
Exactly. Racist is just a specific subset of bigot. If you're a racist you're definitely a bigot but if you're a bigot, you aren't necessarily a racist.

No, my point is not that Rob hates italians.
My point is that you think having drinks with him would be something pleasant.
But in reality, he is the kind of guy who (once you are drinking) would be calling you a "f***ing XXXXX" just because your family came from Asia, or a "f***ing XXXXX" if you have dark skin, or a "f***ing XXXXX" etc. etc.
But as I said, if you don't mind people calling you a "f***ing XXXXX" because of your ancestry, then maybe you would enjoy your time with a drunk Rob Ford. That is, if he gives you the time of day...
He's a bigot against people of his own race. Different cultures.
What we have here, is a failure to comprehend.

That would be Xenphopic i think you need a venne diagram on hate positions. I will say this I don't think i see anything in that article that I would describe as racist.

Fixed: It would surely be undesirable in a common average Joe, but for a high elected official?
I get jokes
Where's Waldo?
This from the Wpg Sun. Quote from article:
"U.S. (Customs and Border Protection) confirmed to us that Mayor Ford arrived in Chicago last Thursday and that after discussion with US CBP he withdrew his request to enter the USA and departed."

So turned back at the border. I wonder where he's undergoing 'rehab'?
