You can't be slightly anti Semitic. Sure you can. Perhaps "slightly antisemitic" is still a real horrible thing to be, but whether it is or is not, its certainly something that its possible for someone to be. Prejudice can exist from barely detectable levels to massive raging hatred. You certainly can be slightly prejudiced, or have mild dislike for some group. Antisemitism is just a specific form of prejudice and bigotry. I disagree. Prejudice is not like meeting someone at a party and being indifferent to somewhat negative about that person...prejudice strikes a chord deep inside of us. How a person manifests that prejudice can vary dramatically but its expression is not the tell for how strong it rages. Just because someone kills a person they dislike due to prejudice does not mean their prejudice is stronger than someone who discriminates in less violent ways. In the same way that some husbands hate their wives and kill them while others simply divorce them, I believe the degree of prejudice can not be determined by the expression of that prejudice.
