Prejudice without "acting prejudiced"

Below is an interesting exploration of prejudice (or reverse prejudice?) and privileging - even when there seems to be no overt or conscious prejudice. The article and studies cited seem especially relevant regarding politicians, pundits and celebrities of sports and media. Thought provoking.

WHAT DOES MODERN PREJUDICE LOOK LIKE?

If we look, what privileging or "modern prejudice" do we discover in our life?

Are there ways we have acted based on this?

If so, how to notice when this arises, how to practice with this arising?
