This video is so full of crap. Anecdotal evidence that only proves that people have experienced... something. Maybe that girl is good at math.Or her friend wasn't good at math and she was just better at it. She clearly believes that "all Asians are good at math" stereotype to some degree since she's the one who said it out loud. Maybe that Latino Lieutenant was treated like a poor leader because he was a poor leader. He doesn't even know why they treated him like that. Maybe people learn from their experiences and apply that knowledge to later encounters. You wouldn't go sticking your hand in a fire because it might not burn you the same way that other one did, and you wouldn't grab a fire extinguisher every time you saw a fire on a grill. If you're offended by someones experiences with someone who belongs to your "identity group" then I'm sure you can fix them by telling them how terrible they are and how much better you are than them

It's a stubborn social phenomenon in the West. Who knows how many generations can shake it up?

Regarding hiring/promotion, I would like to know of those equally qualified, was there an equal ratio of contenders?

Implicit bias seems to affect marginalized groups more negatively than non-marginalized groups, but it does exist toward the majority, too, since it is inevitable and subconscious. It can have a negative effect on someone from a majority group, of course, but I gather from this video that it is less common than its negative effect on someone from a minority group.

What are these internal bias's based on? Where do they come from? Does it come from experiences and knowledge accumulated throughout ones life? Is it the mind forcing a determination/judgement using the only available data?

So happy I pulled my kids of school. Btw I’m Mexican American and this makes me feel very uncomfortable. I don’t want to treat or want to be treated differently because of my skin color or back ground. This whole idea is “racist”. Stop the hateful indoctrination!

I think that what the video fails to address is the actual nuance associated with the term "bias".
Fact is there is more honestly a bias that is misplaced (like say a prejudice) which is effectively an unmerited perspective towards a person and even a group of people and a well placed bias (like say w/ good judgment) which is effectively based on a historically merited perspective towards a person and even a group of people.
It would be ludicrous for a bully to beat someone up on a playground repeatedly and then decry that there is an "implied bias" for some unmerited reason. No the merited reason is that he has a history of unprincipled, malicious, selfish and violent behavior. That if "labeled something else" (ie a bias) then fails to address whatever the real problem is. In this scenario the victim remains a potential victim and the perpetrator remains unbridled and unrehabilitated if left to social constructs like "implied bias".

[robertpaulson]

So, is there no such thing as implicit bias agaisnt white males? I saw a lot of diveristy in this video talking about how others need to do better, the only thing I didn't see was any example of implicit bias agaisnt white males, does it just not exist? I would even go as far as to say this video had implicit bias agaisnt white conservatives. During this video, 4:54, there was a drawing of white conservatives marching behind the bias monster with what was clearly meant to be a MAGA hat, one lady is carrying a confederate flag, and there are Confederate statues near them. During this picture, the narrator says that the IAT shows how "groups of people will act on average, and that is worrisome." This is a clear stereotype and showing implicit bias agaisnt white conservatives, this is meant to paint the majority of conservatives and Trump supporters as racist. This video is clearly politicized, and it doesn't surprise me since it comes from such a far left univeristy, tu.

She said "I think that if you are anyone to be blunt that's not a white male you potentially feel that implicit bias" isn't what she said implicit bias twords white males?

[gabzgroove]

if you're trying to school me on #implicitbias without even knowing my thoughts, you are also implicitly biasly challenged. LOL!! My actions and good character matter more than whatever you think is in my head.

[JohnSmith-bbsv]

At 2:11 maybe the friend knows for a fact that this young woman is good at math or science? Maybe the friend knows she gets all A's? Implicit bias works both ways : you could just assume that everything is about your ethnicity when it really isn't.

did anyone notice the ice cream cone on the window at 5:57 turn into a construction worker

Implicit bias testing when concerning race or discrimination is very controversial. Meta studies have shown that those tests are not scientifically verifiable ( you take the test 3 times you get 3 different results), full of false positives, does not predict behavior and can't be trained out of. Many psychologist state that they do not even know what it is testing. Even the founders claims that the tests are made for aggregates can be considered unfounded because of the inconsistency of them at the individual level. Do your own research if you do not believe this.

[lourdescollazo]

Horrible, being offended even for compliments 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[tubber]
