Bigotry is a privately held sentiment. Racism is the public expression of bigotry. When a guy is pissed off because he doesn't like his new neighbour's skin colour, for example, and refuses to say hello to him or invite him into his home, that's bigotry. When the same guy acts on his bigotry and threatens and attempts to intimidate his neighbour in order to drive him away, it's racism. The bigot and the racist's mileage may vary, however. To say that an entire country is racist is bigotted, for example.
