This Ted Talk offers a good synopsis of Dr. Eberhardt's book Biased, but I still highly recommend reading the book, where she more fully lays out the research and data to support her key points. It's written in a very accessible way for the average reader.

I love that this wonderful woman is giving facts and data regarding biases while people are writing completely biased point of views in the comments.

Very good presentation! I feel like it addressed some taboo subjects while still being respectful and factual.

Thank you so much for such for this educational video🤗 My takeaways are: 1. Is my behaviour towards this person ‘intelligence led”; 2. Ensure my language and demeanour is the same for all people; 3. Take time to pause and reflect on the basis of my unconscious bias. Xx

💖The part about “learning to accommodate the prejudiced biases of others to stay safe”…. after being photographed & aggressively “assisted” by 5 store clerks. I found myself putting them all at ease, assuring them I don’t hold grudges after calling one out for addressing me with “What’s up” (at Nordstrom’s) & another caught in the act of filming me on his phone. What’s worse… after I left the store I was followed around the mall by the “What’s up” guy & multiple undercover “Loss Prevention” 😒

I agree with you. The world is beautiful because it's colorful. Black is beautiful, white is beautiful, brown is beautiful. In this world, there are good and bad people, and didn't depend on the color of their skin. Lovely watching and listening to you on the top of the mountain of Italy.

As a white Paramedic who worked for many years in the city, (still full time but not in urban areas now) I read a very long study, from Cambridge I think, about bias as it relates to medical treatment of black patients. Very similar methods described in this lecture. The white care providers, all known as decent, caring professionals, were totally susceptible to bias and withholding or delaying treatment. It was a good study. Against my imbedded self awareness and judgement, I had to say, they are talking about me. An example is, a made up description of patients, mostly black, that we say have "incarceritis' when we pick patients up from jails and holding cells. The premise being, they are faking so the can get out of jail for awhile. So I did a little test on myself. In my mind I removed the jail and focused only on the Patients words. I literally pretended they were white. And guess what happened? I did a lot more 12 leads and I started a lot more IV's. Act on what the patient is saying. That's it.

teared up at the elevator part. i can't begin to imagine. thanks for sharing this with us.

The environment is also what shapes a child. Of course if children grew up in a place where being black is seen as something to be ashamed of by many people, black and white children will learn from that. Both children, even without learning it from their parents, will see being black is something negative because it is the dictate of the environment they are in. Watch this video and reflect for yourself. Put aside your bias and think again.

When I was young I can remember times when I smiled at someone to make sure that I got a good look at them. Smiling also put a person I felt could be unsafe at ease so they were less likely to treat me negatively. In our culture we have been trained to see people by how we can use them, what they mean to us. For an extreme example homeless people are often ignored while celebrities are chased. We walk around thinking our particular perception is real and everyone is seeing the same thing when it's really not reality but just a story we each are living in. I would love to see a filming of a bunch of different people watching films of officers stops and guessing whether they were talking with white or black people and see the percentage of who gets it right. I imagine that it is very rare for a person with strong biases to ever look back at themselves and question their own behavior. If they did they would have to wake up and lose the bias. That is the double-bind. Someone with a bias would say " I am seeing the truth so I have no reason to question myself." Ha ha. Then add the privildege of the added benefit of living in and recieving the perks of a double standard and why would anyone ever choose to question themselves? People who can't see the benefit will continue to fight for their privildeged bias. For many people only when it no longer serves them and especially when it becomes a detriment to their success will someone be willing to take a real honest look at their own behavior and perspective.

there's bias in everything though, not just race - bias based on social status, bias based on appearance, bias based on attractiveness, bias based on sexual preferences, bias based on mental health, etc etc

I'd like the studies she references to be sourced in the description, tbh, because I get the distinct feeling she is racist herself.

Even if we were to all magically be affected by magic that wiped away everyone's racial bias .... Racism wouldn't be over. We wouldn't have racial bias but the racial disparities would still exist. So Racial bias is important because they create and justify racial disparities... But first racial disparities must go. That means creating policies to eliminate racial disparities. Once we have disparities gone and the social structures that create them gone, then we will see that it wasn't racial inferiority that caused disparities but rather social barriers. Many of our biases would be gone by realizing we all regardless of race has similar capabilities. Not the same, because we all are different, which is a good thing, but race isn't an influencer of capability and elimination of barriers would show that.

Ayush Sharma If someone wants to be racist why should you have the right to stop them? People are going to be whatever they what regardless of what you what. Ironically, the more you try and stop them from being racist, the more they’ll be racist because you’re giving them fuel for the fire. The fact that you all can’t see the most simple solution to this problem is in of it’s self a problem. You all cry about racism and how bad of a thing it is when you’re letting yourselves get this hurt and you’re all letting racism be such a bad thing. When you really boil down racism all it is is personal preference and bias from their nurture. Racism isn’t in someone’s nature, it’s in their nurture. If you really want racism to disappear so badly, stop clicking on news stories with false titles designed to make you mad and click their video for money, and simply prove the racist person wrong. Had anyone ever thought of that? Just simply proving them wrong? Arguing with someone isn’t a good way to change their point of view or beliefs, you have to show them in order to change something about them. So the next person you meet in real life who is racist, instead of arguing or yelling at them for their conflicting beliefs, show them that their beliefs are wrong by being a better, taller, bigger person than they are at that moment.

We all have instincts to put objects, animals, people in the the world around us based on what our senses tell us about them. It's an instinct older than humanity - a gazelle that doesn't assume all lions are predators won't live long. How we judge all of the objects in each category will be based on our experiences and observations. If all the black people we had knowledge of were all peaceful geniuses we'd instinctively expect the same from others we later encountered. We also expect certain characteristics from other races based on acquired understanding - that's instinct, Eberhardt does suggest a sound approach to suppressing those natural biases, or you can just remind yourself to always treat people as individuals and not as members of any collective.

This lady is brilliant! Her book is fantastic too

Too many assertions without citation or any attempt to explain methodology for some studies which claim 'facts' where they might actually be assumptions based on one interpretations of findings or flawed methodology. It may be that she and her colleagues have conducted many studies in order to prove her thesis or further her narrative, rather than test it or look for patterns. We shouldn't be taking everything she says at face value. Then again, I've not seen the studies and maybe they are thorough, pragmatic, balanced and of sufficient size - and not just anecdotal (the one about black students being punished as a group is a terrible finding - but it needs to be tested thoroughly as I wonder how one measures such things).

So true. I’m white and have lived in the more affluent side of town where there is a larger white population. But I have also lived in the other side of town (which is where I now live) on the other side of town that is not as affluent and where there is a much higher black and brown population is. When I lived in the affluent side of town I was a victim of crime many times snd victimized by white perpetrators. On this side of town I have never experienced crime. Snd I’ve lived in this side of town far longer because as a single woman I feel far safer. However, most people I speak to tell me they don’t like this side of town because of the crime rate. Some restaurants won’t deliver here. Lol. There is a greater police presence here. Not that there isn’t crime in this side of town but there is a greater perception that there is more crime. But that is neither what crime statistics or my own experience confirms. I work with the deaf community so I see everyday how people make assumptions that are incorrect snd how many deaf people compensate in order to keep safe and make others feel more comfortable around them so as to avoid trouble. So unconscious bias is real. Thanks for this post.

A very nice study 👏👏👏👏👏🤗

The solution is pretty simple : have a positive bias on peoples outside our own group, culture, country and invite them share a moment on our group. The racism is based on ignorance of other. Also i want add the video, a "men bias" exist on our society. It's why the little boy think the black guy is dangerous on the plane, because he is a man before because he is black (with a black woman this reaction will not happend).A men alone on street will be also see "weird" by peoples that look at him. Peoples that are racists, are racist because they aren't open to other groups. Then as a previous comment said, it's more an "outside group bias" that exist rather a racial biais that trully exist. The history show us thiis concept with religious schisms or discrimination, they don't target a color but they suppose one group had belief he is right and other have wrong idea about god, country, life, family principles, economy, etc. We have to find something more strong for make a group that our skin color or cultures. I think a human flag is not bad at all as idea :)

@Janusha Looking at what's going on in america, american racism has taken over half of america and most of any news worldwide. It's now more important than ever.

Thank you for this important insight!

Ted talks are the best

Tbh I would’ve said the same thing if there was only one person that stood out on a plane at 5 years old. For fucks sake, when I was 5, I thought the only white person at Burger King was Michael Jackson and I thought they were going to moonwalk on me.

Ok so where to start. I find it difficult to believe that her 5 year old made that statement and if he did then that is on her as she would have exposed her son to such thinking. When her son is older and enters a lift with white people it seems to me that he is acting on his own biases, without any interaction he automatically assumes that the people in the lift are racist. I hate lifts, I have being in a confined space with people I don’t know. I hate having my back or front virtually pressured up against a total stranger. My niece has a phobia of lifts, she always takes the stairs but on the odd occasion where there is no choice then she has a look of terror on her face and is ready to bolt any time the door opens. I 100% agree we all have biases and that most of us do not act on them. That is fine, I don’t want to change your thinking. I think that the black community needs to look at ourselves. Look at how rap stars perpetuate the stereo type, pimps, hoes, drugs, money and guns. How are they helping the situation, ask one of them at tell me they are. George Floyd was unjustly killed by the police. David Dorn was murdered in cold blood by Stephan Cannon, where was the BLM, news and celebrities outrage over that? Where is David Dorn’s protest, where is the outrage over his death? The black community has to get its act together and fix our own sh...house first. As a black man I am sick to death of having to tell my white friends they are not racist, sick of wasting my energy defending white people who aren’t racist. My energy be could better spent focusing on actual real issues not fake made issues by people who cannot even get their own house in order. You want people to start listening, then treat them with the respect you want for yourself.

A Bhattacharya he says feels their tension because a black man is in the lift, that is what she is saying. That is an assumption that they are racist, he is assuming they are tensed up and attributes that to him being black. That is him acting on his own internal bias.

I don't know why people always harp on rap music like it's the only violent type of music. There's satanic death metal that white people love that literally talks about worshipping Satan and sacrificing virgins but y'all never talk about that. It's not the music, it's not the video games, it's not the movies. None of these things make people violent.

God Bear it’s not a genre I listen to so cannot comment on it. I do however listen to rap and take note of how things are portrayed. Don’t get me wrong I like rap, mostly old school tho, however I am aware of the way it portrays and stereotypes my community. Why do you think it is brought up a lot as a negative portrayal and do you think it has or should have any role to play in combating racism? (Genuine question not me being a tool)

The downvotes ... Are they there for the anecdote at the start of this talk or the facts she recites that she then details throughout the talk? If you disliked this video, please tell me why, i am worth engaging with. thanks.

This is the first I'd heard of NextDpoor. How about you, reader? A an example of racism how do you evaluate it?

As a Muslim i haven’t encountered such stories in our community at all

Let’s us normalize calling ourselves out! Normalize changing our minds upon learning new information.

If you watched the footage, you'd see just how much "resistance" there is.

When I'm alone on an elevator with a man, I'm not worried about his skin color, I'm scared because he is male. There is a difference when you're talking about the experiences of women. That's not the only thing I took from her TT for sure, but while I agree with most of what she says, I think all encounters between two strangers are going to be examined in multiple categories and the individual decides the priority of each. Bias is there in the primitive part of our brain and it is hard to rewire because we react to uncertainty from a fight or flight perspective and it is up to our experience to the contrary to talk down that auto response. She is right that it takes training.

She never considered obviously that the child's primary caregiver put that thought in his head.

This was really interesting.

I like how new TED is now

I don't like anything thrown in my face that I have to accept. The real issue is to look and change yourself at yourself. I'm almost 72 yrs old and grew up in a time that was everything racial. My father lectured us incessantly on kindness that people are different, they look different, and act different. I remember an instance when I was in the first grade in the Pacific Northwest. I wanted my best friend Sheila to spend the night with me. I had my parents permission but when I went to school the next day she told me she couldn't. I was young and naive so I asked why, she matter of factly told me she couldn't spend the night at white people's houses. When I told my mother, she left it up to my dad to explain. I've lived my life with those same virtues my parents taught me. So now that a racial component interrupts all phases of life - I will be damned if I need to be schooled on changing someone elses interpretation of bias. To white parents, teach your children the value of differences; to black parents, teach your children the value of differences.

Racism goes both ways. Bias comes from life experience.

No, bias goes both ways. Racism is in one direction: from the dominant group to the minority group. Not everyone has a bias from personal experience and that can be proven with how foreign, non English speaking countries, view Americans. Many have not met an American citizen but still hold both positive and negative bias with regards to them. Racist bias in white people often comes from them taking other peoples personal experiences and making it their own, watching the news or skewed statistics. Non of which can be considered life experience since it wasn't personally experienced by the individual.
