Prejudices are part of human nature. It's only contemporary morals that cite they are wrong. Go tell people 200 years ago that prejudice is wrong, and see what they say lol..
I say I need to do so. Part of being human is that we can analyze our nature more critically than other animals and make decisions from what we learn. It might be natural to make judgments about people before we meet them, but I make the decision to not act upon them and consider that they could very well be great. Interacting with several people that contradict my previous assumptions could make it natural for me to not think like that naturally anymore. If that makes sense. I like the idea.
"animals" can learn also. so what? your point isn't fully valid.
