Sort of. I used to be true, but it is no longer. However, the prejudice against a SCRAMBLING qb is still real. It has nothing to do with race, but everyone sees that a true scrambling QB has never won the super bowl. Problem is, every scrambling Qb happens to be black. Teams feel pocket passers = super bowls. I tend to agree. A black pocket passer is hard to find.
ps- Campbell is a pocket passer.

I happen to think that both prejudices are real. I don't know how pervasive such thoughts are, especially at the pro level, but I do believe they exist.

Even Young and Campbell made comments that they are not. It used to be there, but it is no longer there. It's all about who the teams feel will win. If they felt that Warren Moon could come out of retirement to win a super bowl, they'd pay him to do it. It's that simple.
