Let's look at each one.
Age - why we all (God willing) be most ages at one point or another so we could be hurting ourselves.
Race - We don't pick our race so it is not something that we can change so that is morally wrong.
Class - in some cultures you can change your class but not all. Nor does everyone have the means to change their class (I can't marry a prince to change my class).
Nationality - we don't control what country we are born in and sometimes we can not change our citizenship even if we want to. We may disagree with a governments policies but that does not mean all the citizens support them or agree with them.
And last is Religion. - these are what makes up a persons beliefs. Unless they harm others or cause discrimination why would you be prejudice? This is the one most likely to cause prejudices because this is what people choose in their lives. We tend to not accept what we do not understand or believe. We control our religion. So this is the one most find acceptable.

But all prejudices are wrong. We should be tolerant of each other and accept each other. This does not mean we have to agree with each other and give support to each other but that we have to allow each other to make our own lives as long as they do not cause harm to others.

the most SOCIALLY acceptable prejudice is agism, seeing as how young people have to pay more for insurance, miss out on jobs, do not receive the same respect as "mature adults" despite their maturity, etc. I could go on.

Morally, there is no acceptable prejudice. Every person should have a clean slate, and you can decide what you think of each person regardless of religion, race, age, class, nationality, etc.

i would say a tie between class and religion, people look down on people who make less like they're dirty. people dislike people with more money because of this stuck up additude. In religion it's because so many people believe that they believe in the absolute truth and that it is their civic duty to enlighten the "misguided". man kind would be better off if all religions didn't push their beliefs on others, and if people of higher class didn't have such a stick up their butt when it came to poor people

Gee, I've seen plenty of peole on Yahoo Answers that aren't scared to offend religious leaders and their followers - in fact they do it deliberately. To be fair, there are some people who claim to be religious that bash non-believers too. Why can't we all just get along? Practice tolerance, not hate - in everything, not just religion.

I'm prejudice against prejudice itself.

Prejudice exist because:
1. people are just ignorant of other peoples differences
2. they want to enforce their own value system on others
3. they are paranoid
4. people have low tolerance
