English term or phrase: choice and prejudice
'choice and prejudice' is the english title of an ngo-report talking about discrimination of muslims in europe. the reoprt is directed to a broad audience.

the title in english sounds very nice - but in german? does anybody have an idea?

austens 'pride and prejudice' is translated: 'Stolz und Vorurteil' but the German term 'Wahl' just doesn't cover the English 'Choice'

Thanks for any suggestions!

Explanation:
Bei "Wahl" kommt mir bestenfalls "Auserwähltheit" in den Sinn, das wäre nicht unmittelbar verständlich.
