Bias is a built-in human feature. In fact, all living things are hard-wired to discriminate.
So your "implicit bias" is right. Most of the time we engage in it unconsciously.
Sometimes that "implicit bias shows up as racism, nepotism or some other form of favoritism.
> Doctors don't under-treat black patients' pain because they explicitly dislike black people. They do so due to implicit bias.
No necessarily true. A racist doctor will under-treat black patients simply because he's racist. And note that I'm referring to a racist doctor, because not all white doctors are racist.
