I hate to say this, but she will just have to get over it. People have biases, and are not entirely rational (in fact, if anything, we are machines built to rationalize to other people what we deserve). The article goes to the ridiculous area, which is trending in the U.S.: Taking on the impossible task to train people to avoid these "unconscious" biases. It will a be a lot wasted effort, for ultimately impossible goal. Let's assume there is a surgical procedure that lets you get of your biases. Would you do it? Are you going to require people to undergo the procedure? At some point, we just have to accept the biases, because the cost to get rid of them is too high. And even if I would accept her solution, one of the big biases is that we judge similar faces to our own more positively. How are we ever going to get rid of that bias? For a given minority, you can perhaps consciously think, "Am I here biased?". But for person which looks differently than you? How can you even know you are biased? Finally, I would like to warn, attempts to correct bias may create more bias, overshadowing any bias that was originally there. For instance, if you have positive discrimination, people may think that minorities have a leg up thanks to it, and may judge them more harshly. I don't think any amount of anti-bias training will change people's biases. What does change them is role-models, and yes, in biased environment, these require hard work, on part of people who don't want to be perceived in biased fashion. Tough cookie.
