Should bias and prejudice EVER be acceptable?
In another thread, there are statements that I see as being biased and prejudiced, but obviously the author denies this vehemently. SOOOO...
How do you define bias/prejudice? Is it OK to display it towards a popular group but not towards a minority? Is the converse true? Does subtlety cause us to overlook it? Does it cease to be a bias/prejudice simply because the person denies it? Most importantly, do you point out bias/prejudice when you see it? Why and how?

Intent. Intent Intent Intent.
It doesn't matter what the outcome is, if your intention was to treat someone/something differently for any reason outside of circumstances then that is bias.

I can accept that people are biased and prejudiced.
