Discrimination is most common in employment situations, it is usually racial discrimination because some immigrants don't get treated fairly in their jobs or get prejudged.
Prejudice is a thought or opinion that you have on someone that you don't even know, that is usually a bad thought of someone. Here is an example of prejudice: this person is a bad driver they must be Korean, this type of prejudice is called racism, that will make people feel bad. There are lots of different kinds of prejudice like ageism, and the way they think and even what job they have. People judge you on lots of things. The effect that prejudice has is bad which is why we don't want to have any prejudice.
