Prejudice is not based on reason or actual experience.
So it's less than prejudice then. Point is that it's not racism

How about we call it common sense...which is sorely lacking these days.

It would be prejudice here, because it's based on a stereotype that when certain groups disturb others to pray on a plane it's usually orthodox jews.

Who else could it be? Base your answer on facts, not feelings. You really need to get a grip on what prejudice and stereotypes really are. Not 2018 snowflake definitions. Real life fact based definitions.

It’s still prejudice even if all your life experience tells you that it must be that way. That is the definition of prejudice, assuming something because of what you think you know about another religion, gender, race, etc. You assume it must have been a Jew because "only Jews behave like that." I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that you're making a prejudice assumption about Jews without knowing for sure whether or not it was actually a Jew who did it.

I have yet to have any of you yelling it is prejudice who can tell me who else it could have been. Using facts to deduce to a 100% probability who the offenders were is not prejudice. Im sorry. Again, facts dont care about your feelings.

The definition of prejudice is "preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience." Emphasis added.

Everything I have said is based in reason and actual experience.

The "facts" you are using to deduce a 100% probability is in reality 'Stereotyping' which is also evident in your previous post writing "who else could it be?".
An assumption regarding a negative stereotype is being prejudice.
Saying all that, being prejudice, we know who the offenders were and to quote a smart man, "How about we call it common sense...which is sorely lacking these days." ;)

I feel like vomiting just watching everyone of you doing cartwheels to find prejudice and stereotyping in making a simple logical deduction.

Fit the facts into the definition of prejudice. Not what you wish the definition to be.

A Stereotype is "a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing". Only Orthodox Jews pray in groups on planes. Thats a fact, not a stereotype. If Lucky had said a group of people had disturbed his sleep and i assumed that it was Jews looking to pray that would be stereotyping. He didnt say who they were. He did say what they were trying to do. 1+1 is not prejudice or stereotyping.

To Quote @aygart
When someone has a big enough luch-in-kup they sometimes can be all luch and no kup.
And When someone is dan l'kaf zchus with a krime kup they can be all krime and no kup as well.

Hence why I said "picture". The first one was Google ad sense which anyone with half a brain would have figured out.

Let me acknowledge once again that I’m being very broad here. I say “Middle East,” but obviously I’m not talking about Israel, which has one of the biggest pride parades in the world.
