this is a pretty textbook example of unconscious bias and it's very real.
- readflaggedcomm 6y agoTheir accusation that "we" are conditioned by it is also real and an unjustified projection coming from the author's own unexamined biases.
- eat_veggies 6y agoHow would you like it phrased? Obviously if you're totally unbiased (doubtful), then that advice is not for you and you can skip it.
- readflaggedcomm 6y agoWhich implies that I'm being untruthful or lacking introspection of my own guilt, by objecting to this phrasing. By accusing we/us of experiencing a specific unconcious bias, the author has set up a trap. I want it phrased honestly without assumption about the reader.
- zacharycohn 6y agoPerhaps you should consider why you seem to be taking this so personally.
- readflaggedcomm 6y agoYou're right, my unconscious bias made me object to offensive rhetoric. I should be better.
