Racism is frequently used to apply to the doctrine and racialism to the practice. See Michael Banton, 'What Do We Mean by "Racism"?', New Society (No. 341, 10 April 1969 ), pp. 551-4. Such a distinction makes assumptions about the relationship of doctrine inter-relatedness. I do not find the distinction useful and moreover it leads to the position where racism can be said to be declining while racialism is increasing.

James M. Jones, Prejudice and Racism (Addison-Wesley Publishing Company , Massachusetts, 1972), p. 131 (italics in original). When an earlier version of this paper was read at the British Association for the Advancement of Science meeting the question of the intentions of the actors was a major question in the discussion. A complete treatment of the subject would involve a detailed consideration of this point. However, since individual prejudice has occupied a central position in the explanations of race relations in Britain, the prior need at present is for analyses of institutional racism and its consequences. For, if the law and administrative rules were different, less scope would be given for the legitimate practice of individual prejudice.
