HUGE difference. Everyone is prejudice, in race, in food, in culture.

Doesn't mean everyone is racist, and hates all other things outside of their preference.

A prejudice is a prejudgment: i.e. an assumption made about someone or something before having adequate knowledge to be able to do so with guaranteed accuracy. The word prejudice is most commonly used to refer to a preconceived judgment toward a people or a person because of race, social class, gender, ethnicity, age, disability, political beliefs, religion, sexual orientation or other personal characteristics. It also means beliefs without knowledge of the facts[1] and may include "any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence.

Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1] Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment.
Racial discrimination typically points out taxonomic differences between different groups of people, although anyone may be discriminated against on an ethnic or cultural basis, independently of their somatic differences. According to the United Nations conventions, there is no distinction between the term racial discrimination and ethnicity discrimination.
There is some evidence that the meaning of the term has changed over time, and that earlier definitions of racism involved the simple belief that human populations are divided into separate races.[2] Many biologists, anthropologists, and sociologists reject this taxonomy in favor of more specific and/or empirically verifiable criteria, such as geography, ethnicity, or a history of endogamy.[3]

LOL... I love this. The way you posted the breakdowns. I was speaking in general context that most of the people who they are trying to sell fights to can't and don't make that distinction. I mean favoring one because of prejudice one thing, but when on the night of those fight racial fights...every slur in the world is used. Then clearly it has grown into something else.

Take Holmes-Cooney for example. The great white hope some called it. Snipers on the buildings during the fight because white supremacist were talking of shooting Holmes. In the general public those words are interchangeable.
