    UNDERSTANDING BIAS

    EXPLICIT BIAS
    EXPLICIT BIAS IS A
    DEMONSTRATION OF
    CONSCIOUS PREFERENCE
    OR AVERSION TOWARDS A
    PERSON OR GROUP. WITH
    EXPLICIT BIAS, WE ARE
    AWARE OF THE ATTITUDES
    AND BELIEFS WE HAVE
    EXAMPLE:
    EXPLICIT BIAS Your teacher has graded your
    English exams and is handing back
    your results. As they walk by an
    indigenous student, the teacher
    makes an offhand remark
    expressing shock at her high score
    because “IPs are dumb.”
    IMPLICIT BIAS
    Implicit bias is an
    unconscious preference for
    (or aversion to) a particular
    person or group. Although
    these feelings can be either
    positive or negative, they
    cause us to be unfair
    towards others.
    Example: You are walking on a

    IMPLICIT BIAS
    street at night and notice a figure
    wearing a hoodie coming your way.
    You immediately sense danger and
    try to cross the street. The other
    person pulls an object out of their
    pocket, and you start running
    because you think it’s a weapon.
    Looking back, you realise your
    mistake: the person was simply
    answering their phone.
