you're going to need to be more specific with your question.
Sociologists explain prejudice through theory and empirical evidence. Pierre Bourdieu explains prejudice through the habitus, or worldview. Other theories that explain prejudice include ethnocentrism and conflict theory. Durkheim would explain prejudice through functionalism. Foucault would discuss it in terms of power.

They get all tongue-tied with gobbledygook, trying to explain why it's wrong to stereotype a race that commits 95% of the serious crimes. A race that goes out of its way to live up to that stereotype, and unfortunately, a race that most of our young people are trying to emulate.
