Prejudice is a very useful tool for survival in a world where one 
cannot know everything about everyone, nor predict everything that 
may happen.  I have a prejudice against spiders and snakes, and 
while they are not all bad, I rarely take the time or the chance to 
distinguish.

The same holds true for people, and while It doesn't make it right, 
it does make it realistic.  All feelings are real.  They are not all 
justified.  Unfortunately, we don't always have time to get to know 
someone.  While it is always better to judge people by their 
actions, sometimes the home taught lessons are all you have to go on.

Of course the feelings we have about an individual based on their 
membership in a group should be carefully examined, but it is often 
safer to start out cautious and learn to like someone from a another 
group than it is to trust a stranger after having been warned.
