Anyway, no I don't think Arron and Conor are racists for not liking Deana

I think what they mean is that it is different as a whole, yes racism is the highest extreme point of prejudice but as someone has said, racist people know they are racist, however prejudice people would say for example when they see someone looking dodgy on a plane, "Ohh, I'm scared to be in this plane because of that man". The person wouldn't be purposely racist but they have a worry about the person in question and the safety of the place (bad example I know).
Hitler was racist. I think Jade (sorry to bring it up) was a bully, but not racist.
So in full, I do not think Arron is racist, he may have a slight prejudice against Deana (but not from where she's from, more because of her Queen like appearance that she have off maybe in launch night?). Also, I don't think they are BULLYING her, but they are PICKING on her. Slightly different.
Picking on someone gives the person a freedom or the slight courage to bite back, being bullied makes victims feel petrified of fighting back.
