    Discrimination, prejudice, and stereotyping are related but distinct concepts. Discrimination involves unfair treatment of individuals or groups, such as denying African Americans civil rights. Prejudice refers to pre-formed negative judgments of others. Stereotyping involves overgeneralizing about people. Discrimination stems from differences in race, religion, gender, and other attributes and is often learned from one's environment. While all forms of discrimination negatively impact people, the degree and type of harm experienced may vary between groups, such as discrimination resulting in violence against some but only slurs against others.
