[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She should have been sjw autocorrect.  And to pp unconscious bias is a lot different than active racisim

I will actually throw y'all a bone that unconscious bias is an issue due to the fact that there are racial stereotypes based on some truths but become an issue and racist when applied to a situation without actually evaluating it first

I would support having a conversation on the last paragraph but a book that starts from a false premise of all whites are racist is not only wrong but dangerous especially when used as support for a racist driven agenda against whites from poc[/quote]

I mean, of course unconscious bias is different on many levels from "active"/hostile/intentional racism.  I don't think anyone's saying they're exactly the same?  But I'm also not sure why you feel like it's a problem to call unconscious bias a subset of racism.  Especially from someone on the receiving end, they can't always tell whether someone's biased treatment of them is based on unconscious bias or something more intentional, and they shouldn't be expected to read someone's mind or heart in order to call racist actions racist.[/quote]
