"Premise" has specific connotations in formal logic. I would have a hard time finding a word adequate to replace "bigotry" or "bigot", and the bias on group membership/non-membership it was intended to imply. The use of the word "ilk" is much less formal, but I'm not the one who used that particular word. 8-).
