What? People have latent prejudices? Holy shit I had never heard of such a thing! You mean... occasionally... someone might actually judge another person without really knowing them? What amazing new psychological techniques did you use to deduce that, for surely this information is only just now coming to light! I mean, it can't be something that has been common knowledge for decades(or more), because then what could possibly explain WHY THE FUCK I JUST STUMBLED ON A SIX FUCKING PAGE ARTICLE ABOUT IT?

From the page: "There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life, Jesse Jackson once told an audience, "than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved." Interesting article on subliminal stereotyping. We all hold subconscious prejudices - great analysis.

Deep within our subconscious, all of us harbor biases that we consciously abhor. And the worst part is: we act on them. Subliminal Stereotyping * All of us hold unconscious clichéd beliefs about social groups: black and white, female and male, elderly and young, gay and straight, fat and thin. * Such implicit bias is far more prevalent than the more overt, or explicit, prejudice that we associate with, for instance, the Ku Klux Klan or the Nazis. * Certain social scenarios can automatically activate implicit stereotypes and attitudes, which then can affect our perceptions, judgments and behavior, including the choice of whom to befriend, whom to hire and, in the case of doctors, what treatment to deliver. * Recent research suggests we can reshape our implicit attitudes and beliefs--or at least curb their effects on our behavior.
