I don't find the distinction (flawed or otherwise) that you allude to, anywhere in what follows.

Is it really the definition of 'evil', or what the definition applies to, that is at issue?

But what if someone disagrees with the viewpoint of their culture.  Are they still prejudiced?

1) Stating what is good requires a static description.
2) Good is dynamic.
3) :. All static definitions are innaccurate.

There are missing premises to your argument.
