adults because they are set in their ways, teens are exposed to alot more diversity than most adults were.
plus, adults have a harder time adapting to new ideas, such as theres nothing wrong with being gay, whereas teens are more easily influenced in their ideas for or against.

I agree with you.
Teens nowadays are exposed to more diversity and open-mindedness than adults were. At least where I live.
Racism is pretty much nonesxistant among us,
Sexuality doesn't matter in the least, there are dozens of gay couples that everybody supports, and it's not even gossip-worthy when somebody 'comes out of the closet'
And theres a homeless man who bikes around town wearing a bra over a bare chest, and low pants with a bright green thong. Everybody loves him, actually.
But maybe thats just my city, we're a college town filled with marijuana,
so i don't know,.

I believe adults are b/c for one they've lived a lot longer, they've seen more and experienced more. Most teens learned to be prejudice from the home at a young age. So who are they learning it from? Adults. All behavior is learned.

i would say adults are more predudice b/c they have more life experiences that may have swayed them negatively toward one or more given races. Teens only base their prejudices off their parents. They have no life experience yet to give them a logical reason for being prejudice against a given race...well i should rephrase that b/c there's no "logical reason" for being prejudice against a race....against a certain type of person (not race). NEway you know what i'm saying.
Of course, ii'm basing this question in the assumption you mean predjudice against races.....not a general predudice.

They both are depending on their character. Generally adult re more prejudice for obvious reason but teens are on certain things.

Acctually I think it's more in teens these days, with cliques, drugs, smokking...but especially cliques... Those vicious teens will only Hang with people like them. anyone else is pond scum.

Yes, adults are older and they're not usually open to differences.
