Prejudicial Logic

Logic that is shaped by prejudice from the start—reasoning that begins with biased assumptions and uses logical form to give those assumptions the appearance of validity. Prejudicial Logic isn't illogical; it's logical within its biased frame. The problem isn't the reasoning—it's the premises, which already contain the prejudice. The logic then functions to make the prejudice seem reasoned, to give bias the cover of rationality.
"They constructed a perfectly valid syllogism: all members of group X are lazy; this person is from group X; therefore this person is lazy. That's Prejudicial Logic—logical in form, prejudicial in content. The logic isn't the problem; the premise is. But the logical form makes the prejudice look like reason."
