If you mean "prejudice" as defined by the third meaning (c) of the second definition of prejudice, as listed in the Miriam-Webster online dictionary... "2 ...c: an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics" ...I would remove rationality from the definition, since rationality is often viewed as being politically/socially unacceptable. In that instance, the barbarism removing rational cause from the grounds for acceptable prejudice incites emotionalism to be a mode of governance. One cannot have sane discussion of merits based upon emotionalism. Trigger words...such as "prejudice"...generate knee-jerk/trained responses when rationality is absent. Yes, I am prejudiced against emotionalism. Rational thought will show that the manipulation of emotionalism is behind much of the media-governance of the day.

Remove humans and problem solved. True. I am relieved that you would remove people, rather than eliminating them. Remove, to where?

Well... I firmly believe you cannot remove prejudice. Prejudices are the thoughts that inspire discrimination, which are the feelings of prejudice acted out. Prejudice comes out of fear, of ignorance. You can't change people's thoughts, not really. But you can change the way people are educated. I think a world oriented societal view would be great. Proud to be American? Awesome but not enough. Proud to be a solid and respectful, knowledgeable human being? INCREDIBLE!!!
