Implicit Bias and Racism

Implicit Bias: thoughts that happen without you even knowing it

Implicit Bias DOES NOT equal Racist Developed through media, news, conversations, education Connections and associations are made, like peanut butter and jelly

Racism: intentioned discrimination on the basis of race

Impact of Implicit Bias and Racism

Example 1: White male is hired as a scientists, while a Hispanic male only gets hired as a secretary

Implicit biases create connections between two ideas1. concepts (black, white, old, gay) 2. characterisitcs (good, bad, smart, clumsy) Can be destructive because people are judging on these sterotypes without being aware

Think and Share with a partner: what is an impact of implicit bias? Does it directly affect you?

Jigsaw Activity

1. You will be divided into groups and assigned a letter (A, B, C, D). Each letter corresponds to an article. 2. You will silently read the article that is assigned to the letter you are assigned. 3. In 15 minutes, you will meet with the others of your assigned letter (so all A's are together) to discuss the questions that are on the next slide. 4. After 10 minutes of discussion, you will then get into groups so there is one person with each letter (A, B, C, and D) are in a group. You will then share and discuss the similarities and differences between the articles.
