Why do we judge people by their appearances?

I love this question!We are judged by outer appearances because our outer appearances are a good indication of what is going on inside.Now I must say this before I go to far. Judgement has such a negative connotation. Judgement is not, of itself, bad. Judgement, and specifically good judgement is a necessary part of life. It’s what protects us from bad food, going to seedy places, watching unsavory material, or getting into situations we would be sorry about.Judgement can be a good thing.But there is a line and every person needs to draw it for themselves where it is. Society at large will draw lines and then try to impose them on people, but judgement is still not bad unless you’re a jackass about it. The farther from societal lines you get, the more you will be judged (oh yes, judgement is a two way street - for every person offended by the judgement of somebody else, the offended is judging too!).The issue is that Judging, and how to judge kindly is a learned trait. It is the correct and useful application of knowledge which grants Wisdom, and with wisdom comes just judgement. I firmly believe that this is what is actually meant by the “Judge not that ye be not judged…” it just means judge with just and wise judgement for with what judgement you judge you shall also be judged.We cannot stop judging, but we can work to know that our judgments are just, and wise.

How can parents instill, even if unintentionally, racial, ethnic, or religious prejudice in their children?

The intentional ways are self explanatory, but there are ways for parents who consider themselves more tolerant, but subconsciously harbor prejudices, to pass them on to their children. Even something as simple as a white mother pulling her child closer or moving to the other side of the street when a black man comes walking towards them can instill prejudice in a child without the adult ever meaning to. Comments that some parents may say like "they're a good Christian man/woman" teaches a child to associate "good" with "Christian", and may lead to them seeing the two as inseparable... Meaning they will be less likely to see a Muslim person as "good".
