Prejudice still exists today because it is an emotional reaction towards someone strange and unknown. Whenever you meet someone who does not look, act, or behave like you, or does not believe in what you believe, you often try to exclude them, because they are unfamiliar to you, and you are not used to, maybe even scared, of their ways. This is called prejudice towards others, and this is why it still exists in today's world.
