Prejudice creates hatred for a particular group of people and then you end up discriminating against them.

Answer:

Through prejudice, judgments are formed about some groups of people where their perception of them is distorted, which leads to carrying out actions on people to the point of discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prejudice is the labels or concepts that some people may have about others. Biases can affect interpersonal relationships due to the distorted perceptions they present when making judgments based on erroneous beliefs about others.

Prejudices based on stereotypes towards a group of persons or person can develop acts of discrimination by having a wrong perception of a person, discrimination that can affect the person emotionally or physically.

I hope this information can help you.
