Prejudice is when you don't like somebody just because of a label or preconceived notion. When you make a determination about someone's worth based on their race, gender or the crookedness of their teeth rather than actually getting to know them you are acting with bias which is also called prejudice. Prejudice can be based on almost anything, like religion or hair color or what kind of music you listen to. Below is a link to the dictionary.com definition of prejudice.
