"If a person is capable of rectifying his erroneous judgments in the light of new evidence he is not prejudiced.
Prejudgment
s become prejudices only if they are reversible when exposed to new knowledge. A prejudice, unlike a simple misconception, is actively resistant to all evidence that would unseat it. We tend to grow emotional when a prejudice is threatened with contradiction. Thus the difference between ordinary
prejudgment
s and prejudice is that one can discuss and rectify a
prejudgment
without emotional resistance."
-Gordon W. Allport
