To be fair, an individual should be judged on his or her merit regardless of race, religious beliefs, color, gender, physical andor mental disability, marital status, family status, source of income, age, ancestry, place of origin or sexual orientation. Stereotyping can often lead to prejudice.
Prejudice being a learned attitude, is partly based on the evaluative implication of stereotypic beliefs. It is often learned at an early stage and is irrational and not based on reality. Discrimination is a behavior that follows from biased attitudes. It is a behavior that often leads to harassment and has a negative social and economic impact.
To the extent that stereotypes are shared beliefs, prejudice and stereotypes are not necessarily correlated. An example of this is Goldberg"tms discovery that both male and female university students, regardless of their attitudes toward the feminist movement, rate photos of less attractive women as being more pro-feminist (even though physical attractiveness was unrelated to whether the women were supporters or non-supporters).
In the context of social behavior, prejudice can create intergroup conflict, social categorization, and social inequities. Intergroup conflict leads

Stereotyping can often lead to prejudice.
In the context of social behavior, prejudice can create intergroup conflict, social categorization, and social inequities. Intergroup conflict leads to competition between people. Psychologists"tm explain this using the "realistic group conflict theory". The theory implies that prejudice often stems from direct economic competition between distinct social groups. Prejudice and discrimination appear to increase when economic conditions are poor and jobs are scarce. Social categorization is human behavior leading to division of people into groups. Individuals that are similar to themselves in key respects form an "ingroup". Human behavior that causes social inequities results from prejudice that can result from the perception that a group who receives fewer resources deserves what they get.
