The noble bigot prides himself - and it usually ''is'' a man, since women are commonly stereotyped as being "nicer" and more sensitive - on doing the right thing, making sure that those in need are taken care of, yet in the same instance has no qualms with labeling those different from himself with [[Politically
This character will almost always [[Heel Face Turn|be totally redeemed in the end]] - and even if he isn't, it will still be acknowledged that he has his good qualities. Sometimes he is as sympathetic as such a character can be, only holding on to his prejudices due to a [[Freudian Excuse]] (his parents taught him to be this way, or he was once wronged by a member of the group he now despises). A distinct but closely related trope is the [[Innocent Bigot]], who honestly thinks he is ''not'' prejudiced due to [[Values Dissonance]], and is thus ignorant rather than a [[Jerkass]].
Line 9:
See also [[Noble Bigot With a Badge]] and [[Boomerang Bigot]]. Compare [[Good Is Not Nice]]. May overlap with [[Wicked Cultured]] or [[Fair for Its Day]]. May come off as [[Affably Evil]] (or even [[Evilly Affable]]) to the targets of his prejudice.
