You asked for it ;) I think it could be argued that someone could in fact
believe that a particular race is inherently superior without taking any
action based on that. There may even be a large segment of the population
that fits in this corner. I think its the philosophy itself that is the
problem. Actions are predated by thoughts, thoughts are framed within a
philosophy.
