Again, you're glossing over the distinction I am trying to make.

Sometimes prejudices are personal.

Maybe you're prejudiced against cats, and I am prejudiced against dogs.

Maybe you hate rap music and I hate country music.

Maybe you hate blueberries and I hate liver.

These are matters of personal taste.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sometimes prejudices are cultural.

In many places in the South, white people are taught to hate black people.

In many places in the North, city people are taught to hate rural Southerners.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But if your entire country is governed by a law that relegates some of its citizens to second class status, by law, that's not personal, and it's not cultural.
