I wouldn't call sexual attraction a prejudice in any sense of the word. Lust is a primary instinct, perhaps based soully in the id of the mind. It's unconscious in the sense that you don't think about who you are attracted to, it's not something you question, it's something you feel without having to put any thought in at all. For instance, sometimes people have a particular prejudice against a certain group of people, yet one day find themselves lusting after someone from that same group. The prejudice is the learnt, conscious part of the mind rejecting the subject of the prejudice, and the sexual attraction is much deeper, in fact so much deeper that it overrules conscious thought.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
