Is everyone prejudice?

I believe that everyone is prejudiced against something, be it race, religion, belief system, or whatnot. Prejudice is simply “pre” and “judge”, i.e. you judge a group before you meet the individual. For example, I am prejudiced against neo-Nazis and gang members. If I see a group of gang bangers I automatically snap into ready-to-fight mode (the skin color of the gang member does not matter). I have this reaction due to logic and personal experience with gangs. I HAVE met decent gang members and I will change my opinion of them based upon the individual. I will never condone a gang but I will evaluate the individual on his merit. However, the prejudice of “danger” stands. As far as neo-Nazis go, if someone is a neo-Nazi I dislike them automatically and am not going to change my mind unless they stop being a neo-Nazi.
