Do I ever agree with your statement. There are three words that seem to be used interchangeably but have very different meanings...racist...prejudiced and bigoted. Most people are racist, meaning that they prefer those of their own race (whatever that might be). Predujice meaning making a judgement without knowing the facts and bigot which is one who is intolerant of any opinionnbut his own. All people are racist but because we are intelligent and hopefully empathic beings, we try to move beyond our instinctual feelings. Please learn to use the correct word when identifying an emotion and it is an emotion, not a fact!
