Everybody hates somebody, it's part of being human. We all seem to need to think we are better than someone else. It's not in fashion right this minute to use certain specific races and sexual orientations to bolster our need to feel superior but that doesn't mean anyone has stopped being a bigot for one second. Most of the people who celebrate their own tolerance the most are just patting themselves on the back for being big enough to tolerate "those people".
The point is, it's practicing discrimination that is wrong, not having a preference in the first place. We all have preferences whether we admit it or not.
