Do people exist that aren't prejudiced?
Or will we all always be prejudiced?

I don't think I've ever met anyone who seriously has zero prejudices. Many of the prejudices we hold are actually subconscious to a certain extent in the sense that they were probably ingrained by our upbringing before we were even aware of what they were. And hence, it would be difficult to remove these prejudices. It's hard work and people must want to change first.

Everyone has fallen victim to a particular belief or stereotype. That comes from a lack of cultural knowledge and may be totally innocent or naive. Prejudice is when a person is deliberate in their intent to hate for whatever reason. Having said that, then yes there are people who are not prejudiced!

Prejudice has come to be identified with being against something, usually a different race or religion.
However, prejudice came from 'pre-judge' or to make a decision based on little or no experience with another object.
So, in some respects I would think that we all make some decisions based on nothing, but, hopefully, we'll learn not to pre-judge others without getting to know them.
After we get to no them and we think that they are jerks, then that's not prejudice, that's opinion based on experience.
