Prejudice starts with ignorance, arrogance, stupidity or a mixture of all.
If a group of people believe differently, act differently or look different to the particular group to which someone else belongs, then that is often perceived as ether a weakness or inferiority.

Can one equate Darcy with pride and Elizabeth with prejudice?
I think only to a degree. In the end, both characters share in this theme but in different ways. Darcy is proud because of his position in society, and that leads him to scorn anyone outside of his social class at the start. Critic A. Walton Litz commented: "in Pride and Prejudice one cannot equate Darcy with Pride, or Elizabeth with Prejudice; Darcy's pride of place is founded on social prejudice, while Elizabeth's initial prejudice against him is rooted in pride of her own quick perceptions." So Darcy is proud of his position because of social prejudice. Elizabeth at first had prejudice against him because she was proud of her own judgement.
