You have merely given a reason for his prejudice. And I suspect you are right about the reason. But it isn't "reasonable" or "logical" if you don't start from the same moral premise Neo does. So, while we all have our prejudices, this one of Neo's continues to look unreasonable to me. Now there's nothing per se wrong with Neo holding an unreasonable prejudice, but there is something wrong with codifying the products of such things into law. If Neo merely wanted to be prejudiced around his house, or as he made his way through the world, I would fully support him in that. Freedom, after all, means you can be prejudiced or not be prejudiced. But when you impact the freedom of others, by suggesting that unfair laws stay the law because of your prejudice, then you have gone too far- but only then. Free thought and free speech compel me to support the rights of the prejudiced to be prejudiced. Though I certainly will not cede my right to comment on such prejudices.
