Bigotry
: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
prejudice
:preconceived judgment or opinion : an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge : an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics
racism
: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race ( a class or kind of people unified by community of interests, habits, or characteristics)
I am not real sure there is a distinct line of what a 'race' is anymore at least by definition I know there is by general consenses
btw 'yankee' was a slur on americans during a couple wars
