Do you understand what implicit bias is? Not everyone does, even some people who are, presumably at least, reasonably bright and/or well educated.
Why do I ask this question about implicit bias (IB)? Well, because it seems to me many people aren't capable of distinguishing it from its "uglier siblings." That's not to give IB a pass or diminish the hurt it can and does cause. It's not to give a pass to folks who make no earnest and mostly successful effort to overcome their IB. It's not to give a pass to people who mislabel other behaviors and mindsets as something other than IB.

Thread discussion questions:
- So the question here, is do you have IB?
- Do you "catch yourself" when you exhibit it?
- Do you not mistaken refer to IB for something else and/or vice versa?
