Implicit Bias Defined

Implicit biases are attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decisions in an unconscious manner.

We all have them. They encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments that are activated involuntarily without an individual’s awareness.

These biases are not accessible through introspection and lead to feelings and attitudes about other people based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, age, and appearance.

Implicit biases develop over a lifetime beginning at a very early age through exposure to direct and indirect messages.

Good afternoon. Would it be possible to use this video as an intro to a Diversity and Inclusivity training module at the RCMP in Canada?

- Encourages you to baselessly presume that any disparity that you observe is due to a mental bias.
- It lends credence to the notion of microaggressions which relies on unevidenced presumptions about 'what people secretly mean'.
- It attributes all racial stereotypes, descrimination and violence to White Supremacy.

An extremely biased presentation of the concept of implicit bias.

The flimsy theory of implicit bias summed up:

Racial intolerance of blacks is (and I agree) something that should be countered.
Racial intolerance of whites, white-passing, light-skinned and lighter-skinned people of non-African descent, white-adjacent and the "melanin deficient" is to be encouraged to counter "white privilege".

That is also what social justice is about.

Our teachers are such a wonderful resource and so incredibly valuable, but NEA has so many terrible liberal ideas and support such a horrible president, they are making lives for our teachers way more difficult than they should be! NEA needs to support teachers, not have blanket support of liberal ideas that make our teachers’ jobs and lives so much more difficult!

micro aggressions are nonsense and I question the assumption that white supremacy is as prevalent a 'thing' as some have posited.
