Considering studies have shown that conservatives have, on average, smaller parts of the brain that are related to things like empathy and higher rates of aggressive personality disorders and the like, I'd say all of the above. Bigotry is learned, not natural, but people are also emotion based and don't like to be proven wrong, so facts and logic don't really convince many people. It's why so many conservatives only change their opinions when it happens to them, and why so many who do have it happen to them continue to do the thing that hurts them.
