Problem is you will not remove prejudice from everyone, What you can do though is remove prejudice from yourself, maybe you will set a trend that will go in action. You cannot cure all the bad apples, the foolish!! But make yourself an example, have no prejudice. Others will follow in time>

Prejudice by its very nature is making judgments based on inadequate information. The slang saying pretty much sums it up: “Prejudice is being down on something you’re not up on!”
In order to remove prejudice or at least reduce it in any meaningful way, we must first realize the causes of prejudice. One large underlying reason it is so widely practiced is that it serves a purpose: good or bad as it might be. When we put someone or a group of people down, we are also, consequently, raising our own value up by way of difference. In this respect, prejudice serves the purpose of feeding pride and making us feel better.
We can reduce prejudice by first recognizing our own misconceptions and understand and what purposes they are serving in us. Most prejudices are unconsciously absorbed through our environment. We should work to transcend them, replacing them with healthier beliefs. It is important to know that we will always have some prejudices, and this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Another way to combat this is through education, starting out at primary or grade schools. We are so much a product of our environment, and for many people, the belief systems they were taught, will always be with them as they are set in their own ways. People don’t usually change unless there is a reason to do so. Teaching tolerance at an early age then is a prerequisite to long lasting modification.
Thirdly, we must revise public policy in favor of socially equitable institutions. This combats prejudice by integrating tolerant belief systems in a way that forces people to become accustom to them. We DO have the power to change and prejudices aren’t innately born into us. Desegregation in the United States south in the mid twentieth century was a product of people wanting to correct discrimination, one effect of prejudice. In much the same way that this de facto reorginization helped eliminate the effects of this type of racial prejudice in schools, it also CAUSED a reduction in future prejudices for a generation of young people. Therefore, changing public policy works on both cause and effect.
Remember what Dr. Martin Luther King said, “We have flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers."

Charity should begin at home first. By developing patience to listen to others, respecting others view points and acknowledging the rights of others the same rights as you may demand for yourself. In short by 'education'.

To help people realize that labels are stupid and totally block out someone from getting to know the real person, because everyone is complex and yet we are all very much the same, because of our differences.

How do you define prejudice? once we can all define prejudice, there may be a little more hope.
