Prejudiced and wrong about African country from which one’s deported (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

illiberal

'prejudiced' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'wrong about african country from which one's deported' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'wrong' could be 'ill' and 'ill' is located in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for illiberal that I've seen before include "Intolerant; ungenerous" , "Restrictive" , "Narrow-minded" , "unenlightened?" , "Reactionary - mean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
