So you're saying it's okay to be prejudiced against people because of religious beliefs?

Like... say... Judaism, for example?

That's such a transparent strawman. The point is that a judgement has merit solely based on its justification, not on its syntactic form.

I don't think you can justify prejudice against Jews. People who think they can often use epistemological frameworks I find, to be frank, stupid. At the end of the day, we can judge ideas based on their content, their meaning. The idea that this is equivalent to an irrational judgement, like one based on skin color, is what I am attacking here.

No one is making irrational judgments based off of the amount of photons that are being reflected.

Many Indians can't reflect many photons, either. Police aren't shooting them.

Let's see if you can make the leap into what is being inferred with this obvious observation.
