==Prejudice==

[[Prejudice]] is an irrational feeling of dislike for a person or group of persons, usually based on [[stereotype]].{{citation needed}}

Virtually everyone feels some sort of prejudice, whether it's for an ethnic group, or for a religious group, or for a type of person like blondes or fat people or tall people. The important thing is they just don't like them -- in short, prejudice is a feeling, a belief.

[[Discrimination]] takes place the moment a person acts on prejudice. This describes those moments when one individual decides not to give another individual a job because of, say, their race or their religious orientation. Or even because of their looks (there's a lot of hiring discrimination against "unattractive" women, for example). You can discriminate, individually, against any person or group, if you're in a position of power over the person you want to discriminate against. White people can discriminate against black people, and black people can discriminate against white people if, for example, one is the interviewer and the other is the person being interviewed.

;'''Racism'''A clear cut example is a slave-holding culture:, however, describes patterns of discrimination that people are institutionalized as "normal" throughout an entire culture. It's based on an ideological belief that born into a society where one sort of person is "racenaturally" a master, and another sort of person is somehow better than another "racenaturally". It's a slave (and sometimes not one considered a person discriminating at this pointall, but a whole population operating in beast of burden). In a culture like that, discrimination is built into the social structure that actually makes it difficult for , economic and political fabric, and individuals -- even "free" individuals -- don't really have a person choice about whether they discriminate or not to discriminatebecause even if they don't believe in slavery, they interact every day with slaves and the laws and rules that keep slaves bound.
