Not a contradiction if you read my first post on this page.

And if it is relatively uncommon, what's the point? Are we going to debate whether unicorns are racist against leprechauns next? Those bastards.

The difference is not really individual vs. societal. It's not really psychological vs. sociological because psychologists tend to be stuck in the attitude stage and figuring out the why or intent versus examining the outcome regardless of why and intent. So that's not the crux of this debate.

The difference is really power. Since people want to discuss individual-level, if you fail to acknowledge power differentials in "individual racism" then you are really talking about prejudice (attitude) and perhaps even discrimination (behavior) if there is opportunity to discriminate. Even discriminate requires contextual power because you have to have the ability to withhold something from someone. You can have prejudice without discrimination and vice versa. But you can not have racism at any level without an ability to reinforce power differentials, opportunity to be discriminatory, and the incentive/gain from being discriminatory.
