PREJUDICE VS BIAS
Prejudice is pre-judging something or somebody even without looking at evidences. If a
person prejudices somebody or something, it means that an unfavorable opinion is given
without knowledge, thought, or reason. This could now result in discrimination and could
influence someone’s behavior and interaction.
For example. She won the pageant because his uncle is one of the judges.
She got the position because of her good looks.

Bias on the other hand is giving favor or against a particular person, group, thing, or point of
view over another which could result in unfairness.
For example. She was not allowed to join the pageant because she is black.
She was disqualified for the position because she is a Muslim.
