That's not my understanding. At all.
Also, Abbot's letter seem to base her argument on a scale of severity, not so much the traits of the target of racism/prejudice. If there was apartheid/segregation or slavery it would be racism. If not then prejudice.I know you’re not defending her but you’ve picked out the key point, which is that even by her logic she has fucked this up - 6 million dead for being Jewish is hardly mere ‘prejudice’, and they were singled out for segregation and then extermination through clear ethnic/racial profiling.

Another unfortunate implication could be that if you’re not specifically calling for the enslavement or segregation of a group you’re not really racist. If someone has been fired for racist remarks against, say, travellers they should now be eligible for compensation. “I said travellers are ____, but I never said we should enslave them”
