Prejudice is defined as a preconceived notion or opinion that is not based on reason or actual fact/experience.

In the article, "Deaf Business Owners Overcome Obstacles and Prejudice", prejudice is still very much alive. Here are parts of the article:

- Some have assumed that because the Steins are deaf, they didn't know what they were doing, Russ Stein says.

- Many deaf owners have dealt with prejudice, including hearing people believing that the best careers for deaf people are teaching or counseling other deaf people.

- "They believed a deaf individual can't get a job in the fashion industry." she says.
