You're ascribing intentionality. Biases are measured on populations, from that we infer things about individuals. But the bias we measure itself is about populations. There need not be any overcoming or superiority going on. The very same individual over many observations may exhibit the 'right' or 'unbiased' behavior some of the time and the 'wrong' or 'biased' behavior at other times. There is a study that was published that showed that young children who are taught that stories from the bible are veridical have less capacity to tell truth from fiction from other young children. That does not mean they have no capacity, but impaired capacity. Our current societies are based on unquestionable truths and not entirely coherent constructs. It may be that biases are a way for a brain to cope with the manifold contradictions of our lives. Stressed brains take shortcuts.
