Bias vs. Racism

It is true that we all live out our lives with bias...
It is equally true that many live out their lives as racists...
But to have bias,
Does not necessarily mean one is a racist...
But to be racist, 
Always implies bias...

Ironically, their can even be a bias,
Against those who are merely perceived as being biased...

It is the degree of bias that determines a racist...

Degree matters...
And in matters such as these... (particularly when using the suffix: "ist"),
They matter to a very great degree...
