Just because most of us agree that one's prejudice towards drinking a certain beverage is not as bad as hating another human being for the color of their skin does not mean that there's a "scale of prejudice" where the worst prejudices reside on one end. If you believed that, then you would believe that one could travel up and down the scale and become MORE prejudiced or less. And that just doesn't happen. You either are or are not prejudiced towards something or someone in particular.

It's like pregnancy. You are either pregnant or you're not pregnant. Whether you're 9 months and ready to deliver or you just missed a period and found out you're pregnant, you're still pregnant. There is no scale of pregnancy. Just a how long have you been pregnant.

It's amusing watching you repeated 5 times that some prejudice is worse than others and then say that it's not possible for some prejudice to be worse than others. 


The reality is that every single person holds some sort of prejudice for or against groups of people. It can be as subtle as assumptions about a group like thinking the the latino guy at the restaurant doesn't speak English or it could be "a hatred for white people that many people of color have" as you keep mentioning. This is a real thing social scientists study.
