Prejudice Online

The word prejudice refers to prejudgment: lokirestricted contexts, in the expression “racial prejudice”. Initially this referred to making a judgement of a person based on that person’s race, religion, class, etcetera, before receiving information relevant to the particular issue on which the judgement is being made; it came, however, to be widely used to refer to any hostile attitude towards or judgement of people based on their race.

Subsequently the word has come to be widely so interpreted in contexts other than those relating to race. The meaning now is frequently “any unreasonable attitude that is unusually resistant to rational influence.” Race, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age and religion have a history of inciting prejudicial behaviour.

John Farley put prejudice into three categories:

These three types of prejudice are correlated, but all need not be present in a particular individual. Someone may believe that a particular group possesses low levels of intelligence, but harbour no ill feeling towards that group. A group may be disliked because of intense competition for jobs, but still recognise no differences between groups.
