Answer: believing that Asians are better at math

Explanation: Prejudice refers to judgement of a person or thing without sufficient facts. Believing that Asians are better at maths is prejudice because any Asian one see, one will conclude that they are better at maths. But this information is not based on facts but a preconceived feeling.
