Anti-Semitism articulates a split between official democratic norms and culturally approved prejudice.

Evidence

The anti-Semite was only the spokesman for the ambiguity of a society whose official rational norms were being peddled for misuse as rationalizations in a climate of officially condoned prejudice and stereotyping. In terms of ideology, the anti-Semite’s conflict is between the current, culturally `approved’ stereotypes of prejudice and the officially prevailing standards of democracy and human equality. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 442
