Prejudice involves differentiated emotions, including subjectively positive ones

Evidence

Late twentieth-century research made clear that some prejudices are not marked by negative attitudes. Empirical work not only documented subtle, “modern” prejudices toward many racial and ethnic minorities, but also revealed positive attitudes toward women, who are better liked even if less respected than men. These prejudices are ambivalent, not uniformly hostile. — John F. Dovidio, Peter Glick, Laurie A. Rudman, On the Nature of Prejudice, 180 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
