The words mean to apply pre-existing beliefs to characterize people and their behavior by general characteristics, as opposed to looking at the individual and their individual differences.

You'd agree that it's prejudice, of course, to say of a black man that he's shiftless and lazy, without bothering to find out if he holds a job, or showns responsibility in his life. I'm saying it's prejudice to look at a black man on the streets of Furgeson, and say he's "Entitled. Expectant. Demanding. Vengeful," etc.
