Four main factors that affect prejudice are different levels of prejudice, self-justification, personality, and frustration. There are different severities to each injury; some take it more seriously than others. Maybe it's a form of feeling good for some, feeling better than those around you.

No one was born to have negative feelings towards a group of “different” individuals. Yes, we are human and no one is perfect, but if prejudice were an innate behavior, all people of our own species would feel the same way about other “excommunicated” individuals.
