A "bigot" is prejudiced against someone for a specific reason. For example, if you hated everyone who wore argyle socks you would be a "bigot," not a "racist." (You would also be a thorough nutcase, but that's inherent for most racists and bigots anyway.)

In common usage, the two words often overlap in meaning. For many, they are interchangeable.
