If you believe in something without having any evidence to support that belief, then that's the actual dictionary definition of prejudice. Since scientists haven't done that research, there is no evidence and therefore Yavin's belief isn't based on prejudice.
Anyway calling a Jew "reanimated zombie Hitler" is interesting.
Yarvin isn't reanimated, a zombie, or Hitler. When I said "reanimated zombie Hitler" I meant literal reanimated zombie Hitler in order to provider a hyperbolic example of someone you probably wouldn't want to come and speak at your conference, even if he had written some interesting Haskell code. If that was genuinely confusing, I apologise! How should I have phrased it to ensure that there was no risk of it seeming like I might have been talking about Yarvin?
