Captions available
The idea
It is an error to treat prejudice and discrimination as the same thing, since one is an attitude and the other is a behavior.

An institution with no prejudiced individuals can produce discriminatory outcomes through its procedures alone.
Where people slip
The distinction matters for remedy. Changing attitudes and changing outcomes are different projects.
