Do you really want to try to make the argument that prejudice against skin color is the same category of thing as disagreeing with ideas?

Such as the common one I see on HN: All Trump supporters are racist or all Republicans hate anyone that is gay.
It's just as damaging to our society as racism, yet seems to be perfectly acceptable in many circles.
Like... say... Judaism, for example?
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.
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.
