Editor's Notes

  1. 1.
  2. Race, ethnicity, gender. age, weight…
  3. Racial categorization occurs automatically, regardless of any efforts to divert attention from race. Within moments of perceiving someone, we automatically judge that person in terms of in-group favoritism – whether that person is an “us” or a “them” on various attributes such as sex and race. We unconsciously think about race even when we do not explicitly discuss it. Drew Westen’s The Political Brain i.e., Implicit Association Test Implicit thoughts can overpower our explicit positions People have multiple networks that may be activated without our awareness. Depending on the situation, one network becomes dominant over the others Even though we may fight them, implicit biases reside within us. Often these biases are socially unacceptable or embarrassing, so we try to hide them. Nevertheless, our unconscious networks are still operating…
  4. The problem is racial bias, not race; ignoring race does not promote equality and fairness
