Unconscious bias

It's not real. You can't treat anyone differently based on their ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation without knowing. People know exactly what they're doing. The notion that unconscious bias exists contradicts the fact that people aren't taught racism when racism is a taught thing.

Unconscious bias is a myth, get over it!

Unconscious Bias

unconscious prejudice against people of a certain race, gender, or group

“Unconscious bias” is a negative term, which was added to the Oxford English Dictionary last year. Everyone has unconscious beliefs about other groups, and these beliefs can cause them to discriminate against others. There is also conscious bias. When people are consciously biased, their discrimination is intentional.

In 2021, I hope more workplaces will address their conscious and unconscious bias.
