It means you 'pre-judge' people. Like saying someone is 'unworthy' just because they don't have much money or something like that. :) hope this helps.

like seeing a hobo and thinking he begs for money cus he's too lazy too find a work, or thinking an emo kid cuts only to get attention,or that some metalhead worships satan, judgements before actually getting to know the person and his/her situations

Immediately judging a person without knowing who they are, what their history is, etc. It's like when you see a guy with obvious dyed highlights on his hair, tattoo's everywhere, really red eyes, would you not think he's a pothead that's no good in life? That's being prejudiced. Like me.

Prejudice is an unjustified or incorrect attitude (usually negative) towards an individual based solely on the individual's membership of a social group
