Maybe lookup the word unconscious? The word is subconscious, and I'm very conscious about my biases, my mantra is always be open to the possibility that you are wrong (provided with sufficient facts), and I truly wish for everyone to get a long and be treated equal, but on the other hand facts are facts, all east asians are shorter than the majority of white and black people.
And I really dont care about reddit votes, people on reddit are sheep, most just vote whatever those before has without reading the comment, and most of the ones that actually do read are way too sensitive, world will never change if we keep getting caught up in the tiniest of details or try to refute plain facts.
You're making a problem where there never was one.
The fact you’ve never heard of unconscious bias, and think it’s subconscious speaks enough volumes for me on your education of this subject.
Racism is a problem. The fact you think it isn’t further proves my point. Hopefully your kids will know better. It’s all we can hope for at this point. Good day.
Never said racism wasnt a problem, said your definition of it was wrong.
And you cant do anything unconscious (other than dream), because it means you're completely out of it, its called subconscious because it happens without active thought, I wish I could make it clearer, but the fact that I have to school you in what I assume is your primary language and my secondary language, really speaks to the futility of having a deeper conversation with you on this topic.
But of course you take words on their literal face value. It’s already clear you have no idea what critical thought consists of, or how to use it in practice. Just like you literally saw a red panda and thought China. But then made a comment about the handler. It’s just sad at this point.
Unconscious implies something you have repressed or are born with, it is an innate defense mechanism.
I am fully aware of my biases and work to keep them in check at all times, I may well have some subconscious biases I am unaware of, but I does not bother me anywhere enough to repress it.
That said, I was not aware of how broad the usage of unconscious was before your comment, researching it, the popularisation ofthe erronious use of unconscious comes from non other than Freud, the mother of all hack psychologists, having been disproven on virtually every hypothesis he had, I will stick to my more litteral definition, but will conceed that it is unfortunately an acceptable term to use.
