human biases inthe world around us.Some of the biases havebeen repeatedly exposed,often inciting outrage,only for things to change very little or not at all.Other biases are so culturally ingrained that it isdifficult to see them in the world objectively.Forexample,US President Theodore Roosevelt wasconsidered by many at the turn of the 20thcentury to be quite progressive because heinvited African American leader Booker T.Washington to dinner at the White House.Hewas considered very progressive for his time,yethis views on race are not acceptable by our大metrics today.That is because public opinionson race have changed over the last 100 years,although they still have a long way to go.In 100years,people will look back at how women aretreated today and be just as shocked andappalled by the views that are consideredprogressive today.  \nTalking about biases is uncomfortable for usbecause it is painful to consider the probability  \nthat we might harbor irrational biases of our own,that we might be harming people with our biasedopinions,and that we might be wrong.It is easierto perceive biases in others than it is to perceivebiases in ourselves.Therefore,this book will notbe a preachy,self-righteous book about howterrible we all are.Instead,this book will be ahistorical look at biases in others who have gonebefore us.If this historical approach helpsreaders recognize and acknowledge some  \npreviously unrecognized biases deep inside therecesses of their own hearts and minds,that isthe beginning of a good thing.  \n生  \nChapter 1  \nRacism  \nRacism is a phenomenon that periodically grabsthe public's attention,then seems to disappear from view.Racism persists because it should notpersist-we know that discriminating against anentire race is wrong-yet we also know that it isfar more entrenched than most people are willingto admit.We want the acknowledgment alone tomake racism disappear.Unfortunately,everynation has its history of racism,and in mostcases,it is so ingrained that merely knowing that  \nAcknowledging societ asm  +rd1o ddyal racism is one thing,butacknowledging personal racism is even moredifficult.Race is one of the most easilypea8  \nrecognizable features of a person.It is natural tostart to assess a person when we meet them,  even before we begin to talk with them.Thoseinitial assessments are based first on our ownexperiences.When we do not have anyexperience with a particular race or very little  \n送  \n人  \ninteraction,we judge the person based on whatwe have heard about the easily identifiablegroup the person belongs to.From anevolutionary perspective,this is beneficial.Theproblem occurs when those initial assessmentsincorporate negative biases based on systemicracism.One of the most prominent examples ofthis is in the United States,where policies andlaws were written to include slavery,which  primarily targeted Africans and theirdescendants.Racism was institutionalized,soovercoming more than 400 years of history will40require a constant look at why things were donea certain way before society can remove theinstitutional racism from the current systems.Itwill likely take decades,even if the focus  \nremains on finding and undoing what has been apart of the country's culture for so long.  \nWhile the obvious racism issues in the UnitedStates are easily observable today,it is hardlythe only one.The country is currently activelytrying to work through the issues.Other  \ncountries have not yet recognized that there is aproblem,so the systemic issues will remain inthe foreseeable future.  \nRacism is a global issue and every race is guiltyof harboring ","cbCaivyC1VTMsatc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivyC1VTMsatc","pdf",2539725,64,"English","# Introduction\n## Chapter
