In the text The Whale Rider,there are prejudices based on ethnicity and race.

The narrator is discriminated on account of his skin color. Jeff's mother wonders what she would explain to the women at the bridge club because the narrator is dark stained and has visited them through her son Jeff.

The narrator is seen as an outsider.Clara makes it obvious that she is embarrassed by the narrators presence.The narrator is saddened when Clara says to another guest that Jeff always brings home dogs and strays.

Rawiri is segregated because he is not a native.Jeff and Rawiri are getting on fine but Jeff's parents push him to start associating with his own kind.

In conclusion,segregation,prejudice and discrimination are part and parcel of the society and humanity should try as much as it can do to mitigate such vices.
