What if I see a black person acting like a stereotype and I immediately can't stand them? Is that prejudice, racial profiling or something else?

You as a couple, since you are married, would be in the same social class. So if your wife was a teacher and you are doing construction, your family would be middle class, not the working class, because of your wife. Also, there is a big difference between racism and prejudice, to be racist you have to have some sort of economic or other power over an individual or group. To be prejudice you do not need that power. If a lower class black person hated white people, they would be prejudice, if the chief of police in a certain town was white and hated black people, that would be racism.

I think I have to agree to disagree with this part.
