Many prejudices are the result of ignorance. Learn as much as you can about the person or group and this may help in some cases to resolve this. It will also help you to converse intelligently with those against whom you wish to overcome prejudice. Trying to understand the reasons for prejudice generally and yours in particular may also help.
From a Christian perspective, we understand that people are all 'of one blood' which means, as modern genetics also reveals, that despite individual differences, we are all essentially the same genetically. This is perhaps an example of ignorance, based (for some people) on the unscientific theory of evolution (some would see this as a prejudice of mine) which taught that there were some races which were more highly evolved than others. So, in this case, whatever the reason for thinking this, a knowledge of either the Bible teaching, or modern genetics, or both, may help.
