    Illustrating my point:

    Also:

Surely it is wise to just stick with Milwaukee in this case?
    That's judging something based on firsthand experience, which is the polar opposite of prejudice, which means you pre-judge something (or someone) before you give it a chance. Tribalism and/or racism indicate you are judging individuals based on their group affiliation, and judging them before they open their mouths or take any action.
