Is this for a homework assignment?  Check the FAQs

"how did orientalism evolve into prejudice and discrimination"

Who said that it did?  This must be a special understanding of the
word orientalism, since generally it expresses a sympathetic interest
in things oriental, be it languages and culture, fashion or art.

If the question is the premise, then we would have to know something
about the source.

Read Said's book. For a "theoretical"/philosophical book it is a very easy reading.
