Judging blindly- making assumptions or conclusions about a person without knowing them. This is usually based off stereotypes or other such things.
I'm looking for a synonym for this or what you would call someone who does this.
Examples in a sentence:
- "So you're obsessed with rocks," Mary judged blindly.
- Judging others blindly can/will lead to injustice.
- You have only known him 5 minutes, yet you are already blindly judging him.
Judging blindly or blindly judging sounds awkward in a lot of sentences. It can also get repetitive. This is why I would like to know a synonym for it.

Doing something blindly means to do something without having enough information. To judge blindly implies that you judge someone without having enough information.
Prejudging is probably what you're looking for.
Prejudging means to judge someone/something before knowing or having enough information (the prefix pre- also indicates that).
Cambridge English dictionary defines it as:
In your example,
Presumably, Mary made that statement without having enough information, so you could say:
Here's a recent example from Fox8:
Compare it with your example:
In your third example, you could replace 'blindly judging' with prejudging.
A has known B for 5 minutes and is making up something about B without having enough information, you could say A is prejudging B.
Here's a good example from OregonLive:
Someone who prejudges could be described as prejudger.
If someone judges unfairly, you could say they're misjudging.
You could also use presumption (noun).
