Prejudice Behvior

In guided reading I'm reading Elijah. There isn't much prejudice behvior, but we did find one example as a group. One character is Mr. Leoroy. He works for Mrs. Holton. Mrs. Holton was a slave that escpaped with gold sewn into her dress. Since she has all that gold, she's rich. Mr. Leoroy was a slave too. He works for her because he doesn't want to work for the white people in Chathem. I think that's prejudice behavior because he thinks the all white people are like the slave owners. I understand how he might be afraid to go near white people, but he should at least give them a chance. Since he's in Canada, the people there don't have slaves because it's free in Canada. That's why the slaves run from North America to Canada. So the people there couldn't be as mean to blacks as the slave owners. That is one example of prejudice behavior.
