But if someone is tossing out my resume with at a higher rate because I have a black-sounding name, cutting me from consideration for the orchestra because I have breasts, or calling the cops on me because I am black, these are examples of "implicit bias." These are the things the person being disadvantaged has no control over, and we need to raise awareness and educate. Where appropriate, we need to take legal action.
