Summary

This quote by Ambrose Bierce emphasizes that prejudice is an unfounded opinion that lacks any substantial evidence or logical foundation. Comparing prejudice to a "vagrant," it suggests that prejudice wanders aimlessly without any visible justification or basis for its existence. By characterizing prejudice in this way, Bierce highlights the irrational and baseless nature of holding prejudiced views, reminding us that such opinions hold no real weight or validity in any rational discussion or judgment.
