Your dictionary is different from my dictionary. Next time you're at the Mensa meeting try Webster's. My says nothing about belief in the superiority of one's culture, and I suspect this is a new, PC definition written by/for the PC crowd and the "Dumbest Generation." Heretofore it referred to prejudice, a term which means a pre-judgment: i.e., judging without first gathering evidence. I was making less of a "prejudice" than a "post-judice" based on much experience, experience I was describing in my post. Your mileage may vary. Perhaps you live in a city where all the Shaniquas, Latrinas and Latishas you encounter dealing with customer service departments and the lower echelons of bureaucraciesparticularly, but not limited to government bureaucraciesare all intelligent, well-educated, articulate, speak standard English and are easily able to follow a logical argument. In that case MY mileage variesradically.
You may live in a city in which the stupid, attitude-heavy, wouldn't-recognize-a-syllogism-if one-bit-them-in-their-fat-butts help have names like these:
The city I live in may have had a stupid workforce with those names, pre White Flight. Now instead they have ghetto names. -

OF COURSE BIGOTRY IS PREJUDICE, FOOL. THEY'RE THE SAAAAAAAAAME THING FOR GOD'S SAKES! Wait a minute! Omg! You're kidding, right?! LMFAO! Do you honestly not know the term prejudice can also refer to hatred and hostility towards a group based on its race, religion, creed, ethnicity, etc? The word has more than one definition, genius. It also refers to hatred or hostility based on someone's race, ethnicity, makeup, sexuality, etc. With how much we use the term prejudice here in America in reference to intolerance to people with differences, I'm very shocked you're unaware that this is a 2nd definition of the word. Is English not your first language?
Yes, bigotry is prejudice. It's prejudice not in the sense of prejudgment per se but the other usage of the word which is intolerance of different cultures, creeds, religions, etc. And by the way, your precious "non-politically-correct"
Webster's dictionary
says the same thing I'm telling you (as shown here
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/prejudice
), that prejudice refers to
"an unfair feeling of dislike for a person or group because of race, sex, religion, etc."
Scroll down a little further in that link and again
Webster's Dictionary
goes on to say
"an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics"
like you insulting names common to black America as stupid, can't help it and the "Shanique Syndrome," dumbass.
Just in case you get petulant, change up your arguments and decide to say you don't like Webster anymore and he's too politically correct, here's another definition for you from an entirely different dictionary: the American Heritage Dictionary, as shown here
https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=prejudice
, reads the same as follows
for definition two
:
Irrational suspicion or hatred of a particular social group, such as a race or the adherents of a religion.
Really kid, get an education. Your comments were prejudice and bigoted. Accept that and accept you need a basic English class and move on. -

"Really kid, get an education." Th5b4anks for the "kid;" I haven't been "kid" in a long time. But I got an education, and back when it actually mean something. (You actually had to read books!) I'm guessing you're a Black Studies major?
" . . . an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics." The key word: irrational.
Personally I'm too much of a logician and an individualist to be a racist, racism being a form of collectivism. You have to take people individual by individual. Obama is half white, and he's always going to be a idiot compared to, say, an all-Black Thomas Sowell.
Again (go back and read my original post: slowly this time, even moving your lips)* I am only describing my experience with Shaniquas. I'm sure, somewhere, at some time, some place, there are actually bright, intelligent, well-educated and articulate people with ghetto names. I just haven't met them. And if I do, they probably won't be customer service reps, lower-echelon IRS and Social Security Administration employees, 911 operators, etc.
By the way, if you enjoyed the clip from Seth MacFarlane's TED that I posted, apparently MacFarlane and/or his writers have encountered the Shaniqua Syndrome, too:

Maybe she should avoid Italy, Portugal and any Spanish speaking countries.
Same way Steve should avoid Africa because Steve in African means pile of smelly poop.

Raven-Symon has a pretty black name.
What's with the y and that e? Is it spelled like that so with an i and a little D that hangs off the c and f the l out of the a?
