To pre-judge someone is the definition of...

To pre-judge someone means to form an opinion about them before you know them or have enough evidence. This is prejudice—a preconceived attitude or feeling toward a person or group based on insufficient information or on generalized beliefs. It’s about an internal stance, not yet acted out. It’s helpful to distinguish the others: discrimination would be acting unfairly toward someone because of that prejudice; a stereotype is a widely held but oversimplified belief about a group; bias is a broader inclination that can color judgments, often unconsciously, and can fuel prejudice.
