Everyone has prejudices or biases. These are our judgments: the things we discriminate against. Some of our prejudices are conscious and some are not. They are things we’ve learned and assumed from everything around us. This includes the stereotypes we’ve witnessed. Whether you are in the dominant culture or not also contributes to your prejudices. We begin to form prejudices when we are two years old.5 Our biases are absorbed, we take them in, and they become a part of our belief system. But they can change.
