How it's used
偏見 describes a fixed, often negative, judgment formed before knowing the facts. It is frequently used in formal discussions about social issues or personal conflicts. Unlike everyday opinions, it implies a lack of objectivity that is difficult to change.
Examples
You have a bias against him, don't talk about people like that.
Why do you have such a deep prejudice?

Common mistake
Learners sometimes confuse 偏見 with 誤會, which means a misunderstanding. While a misunderstanding can be cleared up with communication, 偏見 is a deeper, more stubborn mindset that persists even after facts are presented.
