racism and bigotry are two separate things. every person in this world is racist to some extent. No matter what, you will always think differently about a person, have a different on sight impression, of people from different races, whether you realize it or not. Bigotry is altering your behavior because of that flawed perception. Unfortunately, the issued is over simplified these days, and bigots, like the 'skinheads', are labeled as simply racists. That feeds the thinking that as long as you arent a bigot, you arent a racist, no matter how differently you percieve people of different races, and so thinking less of people of different races becomes ok, which then feeds into more bigotrous behavior. Watch the snale eat it's own tail...
