Prejudice, as the psychologist Gordon W. Allport stressed, is always an
“unwarranted” attitude. If someone experiences severe discomfort by
eating certain foods, there is nothing prejudicial about refusing to eat
any more of them.
But there is something prejudicial about making sweeping generalizations about an entire category of food, or a community of people, when one’s experiences are limited. One contemporary example of prejudice is the popular perception of the nuns who ran Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries.
