I agree with that. I would say that people will judge certain prejudices to be worse than others by virtue of how institutionalised they are - sexism, racism, homophobia will be considered by our society to be more of a problem than comments about weight, height or appearance because laws and religious teachings don't discriminate against people for their weight/height/appearance as they sometimes do against people for their gender/race/sexual orientation. But as you said (I can't remember your exact words) in another post, what's one generation's norm is another generation's problem, or another generation's yesterday's news.
