N

Prejudice
A state of mind; a set of attitudes held by one person or group about another, tending to cast the other in an inferior light, despite the absence of legitimate or sufficient evidence; means literally to ?pre-judge?; considered irrational and very resistant to change, because concrete evidence that contradicts the prejudice is usually dismissed as exceptional.  Frequently prejudices are not recognized as false or unsound assumptions or stereotypes, and, through repetition, become accepted as common sense notions. When backed with power, prejudice results in acts of discrimination and oppression against groups or individuals.
