is not the moral equivalent of being racist. I think there is a lot of confusion on the board between prejudice and racism. All people have prejudice -- most of it subconscious -- people are fooling themselves if they think they do not. But you can learn that you may have such subconscious biases and develop tools to check them in your words and actions. Racism is distinct. It is a clear belief that one race should be in power and use that power. But I digress . . .

Racism is a world view that is chosen -- ignorance and obliviousness can be addressed with education. By writing off everyone with broad based moral judgements made from one particular point of view, we cannot reach any of the oblivious, and we risk turning off a lot of people who simply did not vote with our judgmentalism (judgmentalness? what is the word I am looking for here?). Anyway, you get my drift.
