1) a term that when used implies that someone has mistakenly and usually hatefully expected something, usually negitive, from a certain other or group of others.
2)
Anytime you
assume someone will help/hurt you based on all
the knowledge availible, usually the knowledge doesn't tell the full story.
Example:
1) the prejudice girl
clutched her purse when the black guy walked by.
2) I asked
the cop where the nearest
drugstore was but he didn't know.

Example:
Prejudice often involves creating an opinion of a person based off some quality that doesn't directly
correlate to
that person's character. For example, homomsexuality doesn't necessarily make a person bad; but for that quality, some people hate.

The condition of believing
that one group, most often one the prejudor belongs to, is superior to another group. Most often applies in a negative manner, against those of different race, religion,
creed, and
nationality. see stereotype, anti-semetism, racism.
Example:
Hating people because they're black, gay, Jewish, Muslim,
or whatever doesn't make much sense. You can easily find ways
to hate people on an individual basis.

passing injust
judgement on someone based on an
insignificant factor
some say hating prejudice people is prejudice in itself, but though hating someone because they opress and
discriminate is not injust in any way
