Bias can be referred to as a process where you prefer one thing over another thing.
Prejudice is the word used to refer to something that you hate completely.
In simple words, bias is a positive or negative opinion that one might have. This opinion is mostly based on the experience of a person. However, prejudice is something unnatural in which you completely avoid or hate one thing or are addicted to something and love it without any specific reason.
