Implicit Bias_What is It?
You may have heard the term “implicit bias,” but how well do you understand it? We use the term “bias” to describe when we prefer, or have an aversion to, a person or group of people, instead of being neutral. The term “implicit” means that we are not aware of these thoughts or feelings, or that we have mistaken their true nature. Implicit biases can lead to negative perceptions about someone based on characteristics like their race, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We all have implicit biases. The trick is learning to identify them and knowing what to do about them.
