Prejudice is a noun that refers to a preconceived opinion or attitude about a group of people or individuals based on insufficient knowledge, irrational feelings or stereotypes. It is often negative and can lead to discrimination or unfair treatment of the targeted group.

On the other hand, prejudiced is an adjective that describes someone who holds such preconceived opinions or attitudes towards a group of people or individuals.
