I'm not sure there's a meaningful distinction between the two to be perfectly honest. I guess if we the term bigotry denotes an element of active malice but I don't think that's the case. Then again people keep changing definitions of language so frequently these days that who knows.
Discrimination is when you decide where to eat, who to talk to, what clothes to wear, etc. You make a decision based on whether you like something, whether it is beneficial etc.
Bigotry is when you hate something simply because it has traits you dislike, or if it shares traits with something else you dislike. Hating Clarence Thomas for being black is bigotry because despite sharing the same skin tone as George Floyd, his character is wildly different.
Bigotry is a form of prejudice. Discrimination is not, because it relies on prior information.
It is not bigotry to want to avoid inner city blacks, because there is a good reason to do so, but it is bigotry to avoid the only black kid in school if he hasn't given you a reason to do so.
The average person isn't smart enough to understand or care about this distinction though, so just like the difference between a liberal and a progressive, it's largely moot in the modern context.
Once again providing a good argument for bigotry being a moral good.
Makes me smile anytime anyone calls me an incel/bigot online. I now know all I need to know about that person and have officially won the argument
Discrimination is a moral good. Bigotry is the perversion of that.

This is completely normal and reasonable, if not an outright tautology.
Prejudice is the simple use of heuristics and is not a moral failing.
