Not at all.  Prejudices are predispositions to respond that are 
overgeneralized to all members of a class, such as racial stereotypes.  
Opinions are verbal statements about attitudes, which require no logical 
justification whatsoever.  Remember (quoth the pedant), logic is not all 
that drives us.
