how does prejudice lead to discrimination
Prejudice leads to discrimination in the following manner:

b. It is on the basis of such preconceived ideas that we start discriminating.
c. We may have biased views about any race, religion, culture or language. For example, a person may hold a prejudiced view towards gender, regarding a particular work as best suited for women.
d. A person may then develop a discriminatory attitude based on his prejudiced view. For example, in a conservative society women are not allowed to work .
e. We may also develop a prejudiced attitude against lower caste and discriminate them , by not allowing them to enter temples, not eating with them, not studying in same schools with them.
