Active prejudice: When people of one type are caricatured and made to look bad.
Passive prejudice: When there are no good examples of one type of person depicted, and all of the protagonists/role models are of the/an other type.

Most people can spot active bigotry, a lot of people seem to have a blind spot for the latter.

(Inspired by discussion here on whether Dark Knight was sexist or not.)
