CBCJ
Circumstance-Based Character Judgement (CBCJ) is a method of determining someone’s beliefs, morals, and/or personality based on the uncontrolled features of the person whom is being judged, with such features being appearance, place of origin, date of birth, ethnicity, background, and/or other related things. CBCJ can be found in certain prejudices or sometimes fields of study, with such being racism, sexism, xenophobia, and even astrology/horology.
This is essentially what Prejudice is.

Person #1: Why can’t people just get to know each other instead of using CBCJ? It is so infuriating when people make assumptions solely based on stuff they CAN’T control.
Person #2: I know, right? A classmate of mine was REALLY into astrology, and started avoiding me like the devil when they found out I was born in April. Funny enough, she ended up getting suspended because she used CBCJ on a black kid.
Person #1: Isn’t the Zodiac Sign for April Aries?
Person #2: Yes. Supposedly Aries is “the most mean of the zodiac signs”
Person #1: Oh yeah, that’s definitely a bunch of malarkey. You’re the kindest person I know
Person #2: Thank you. That means a lot to me, especially since I feel like I try to be kind.
