You do business so you are not prejudiced. I would imagine you have dinner and even some of you best friends are. so you are not prejudice.
The fact the you identify there is a difference by definition says you are prejudice. As humans do we judge events based on past experiences and knowledge we have sure. Does this cause us to make snap judgement on people of course. But if you don't understand that is what makes a certain amount of prejudice and bigotry in all of use. Things will never change. The make things change we need to have the facts instead of drawing opinions on perception.
It is like Wu the first thing he thinks when he finds out wesen are real is "why don't we just kill them" A reasonable response for someone who the only wesen he has seen have been trying to kill him. With knowledge Wu now realizes it is not the wesen we are going after but the person.
Now if you say you have a dislike to certain people based on the person then no that is not prejudice. But if the last five 6 foot guys beat you up and now you hate people 6 feet tall that is prejudice. The difference on the first example you are basing your choices on the person. True once you know the person you opinion may change. But to judge because some one belongs to a certain class of people and you do not like that class of people is prejudice.
That is what the show is trying to do. Because someone is a Blutbod does not make them a killer. EVen the show points out these long running feuds. But they never give you a reason because bigotry does not have a reason. It exist only as a perception in peoples minds.
