But new bigots will rise in their place. I gotta go with V on this one. The best way to kill bigotry is to expose it.

I find this works even in small more personal situations. When I hear veiled bigotry, I repeat it back, but explicitly. "Are you saying you think that [veiled bigotry made explicit]?".

People will often backpedal when their opinions are brought out into the open.
