Even worse, what actually happens with prejudice is that if I think that Androids are shitty phones, when I see a broken Android, I add it to my collection of “Shitty Android” data points.

But when my iPhone breaks, I take it into Apple for service and add it to my collection of “Apple gives great service” data points.

Saying that prejudice is just applied statistics completely mischaracterizes prejudice.
