[Star Trek] Was Spock really more emotional than other Vulcans? Or were they just bigoted against him for being half-human?

Spock has often complained that his human half makes him more emotional, and makes it harder for him to be a true Vulcan. Yet, the Vulcan race adopted Sarek's philosophy of being logical to control their emotions because they were such an emotional race that they nearly killed themselves. When an elderly Vulcan has trouble controlling their emotions, they psychically project them into those near by, overwhelming them in the process.   


So... if Vulcans are actually way more emotional than humans are, just that they train very hard to keep those emotions in check, is it possible that Spock, being half-human, wasn't actually being more emotional than his peers, but that they instead, due to unconscious bias and bigotry, were just paying more attention to Spock's slip ups, expecting a half-human to be more emotional because humans as a race don't follow a logical philosophy? Did Spock get gaslit his entire youth to believe he was much worse than he really was?  


Or was being half-human actually making Spock more likely to be emotional and lose control?

Got it in one. It ended up being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Being the subject of bigotry from an early age probably had an affect on his emotional development.
