Suppose you buy car make A, and then car make B. A runs forever, but B is a total lemon. Then, for your third car, if you again buy car B, you're just a fool. Better to keep your 'prejudice'.
I believe what this thread is about is irrational prejudice, not just prejudice. If there is no rational reason to discrimination, then yes, one has to work on it. But often there is a totally rational reason. I'm not traveling to certain countries on this planet because my government says it's unsafe. Some of those countries are primarily of a certain religion. Call me prejudiced if you want to, but I'll stick with just being wise.
Disagreement is not prejudice. Most certainly disagreement is not hate.
On individual levels, I think the only way to deal with it is to be reflective, and deal with your own subconscious mind. Prejudice is usually unique to the individual. Lacking the ability to self-study leads to sustained prejudice.
