Re: *** SPAM *** RE: *** SPAM *** Re: VIRGIL: Nefarious conjugals with fortunate race

[Rosemary Grayston]

Perhaps there can be a sort of casual prejudice which is a sign merely of an 
unthinking, rather than of an irrational approach: so I'm inclined to stand 
by my phrase 'irrational prejudice'  rather than just 'prejudice'.  I'd 
rather like to think (which is no reason to think) that V understood, in  a 
rational way, that the Empire was bound to receive an intellectual 
contribution from a certain variety of races: as indeed it was. - Martin

By 'racism' I mean 'irrational prejudice on grounds of race or
nationality', which I think accords with current usage.

Racism is more than prejudice.  It's a systematic bias based on prejudice
against particular ethnic groups.  The consistent inability to recognize
the difference between racism and prejudice feeds into racism.
