THINK  BEFORE YOU ACT!!... Prejudice is an unfavorable opinion or feeling  formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason, according to  dictionary.com.  Prejudice is a dangerous area that can cause many  negative effects. One thing that causes prejudice is the desire to be  superior to another person or group. When Caucasians decide that their  race is superior to a Hispanic American then they are being prejudice.  They have not gotten to know the Hispanic and assumed they were better  beforehand,which is a bit of racial profiling. They didn't even take the  time to find out if the Hispanic were maybe some sort of genius or  athletic superstar. The white American just saw the color of the skin  and assumed the Hispanic were worthless.Prejudice  have a history of negativity. I know many people in this country, the  United States if America, are prejudice. This country is very unequal  even though it does have great benefits. When their is prejudice the  people who are being judged beforehand are the ones who suffer. They do  not get fair or equal treatment and their lives are made much more  harder. They are given no voice and seen as animals.
Prejudice  is also caused by the result of parenting. Sometimes parents hand down  their prejudice towards certain people to their children. Their children  then become prejudice and the cycle continues. This is why people say  that the parents are the reason why their children turn out the way they  did; horrible! Prejudice is just bad news and we are better of without  it but it is too late for some people.
