Prejudice and Discrimination, Distinguished

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Prejudice is an attitude held about a group, formed before and apart from experience; discrimination is an action taken against a group, and the two can occur independently.

Show

A neighbor who privately dislikes a group still greets them warmly and lends them tools without hesitation.

Watch for

A person can hold one without the other; neither term substitutes for the other.
