I believe the answer is:

assumes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is prejudicial' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'i'm not sure interrupting idiots' is the wordplay.
'i'm not sure' becomes 'um' (expression of hesitation).
'interrupting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'idiots' becomes 'asses' (I've seen this before).
'um' placed within 'asses' is 'ASSUMES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for assumes that I've seen before include "Takes for granted or puts on" , "Takes to be the case" , "dons" , "Puts on; accepts" , "Take to be the case" .)
