Wrote about the problem with the concept of unconscious bias:

'The argument is that the behaviour is triggered by beliefs the individual is unaware of.
'But if the outcome is the same, is calling it "unconscious" just an easy get-out clause for racism?' https://metro.co.uk/2021/01/21/the-problem-with-unconscious-bias-it-takes-away-any-responsibility-13872478/
‘To call these things “unconscious” takes away any form of responsibility or accountability.

'It ignores the fact that discrimination is systemic, and locates the problem solely in the fact that something is randomly in your head.’ - @TweetsByBilal https://metro.co.uk/2021/01/21/the-problem-with-unconscious-bias-it-takes-away-any-responsibility-13872478/
'From a technical perspective, unconscious bias is an important element of understanding racist attitudes.

'However, we often see people assuming that labelling something as an "unconscious" bias means it's a fait accompli, which it certainly is not.' https://metro.co.uk/2021/01/21/the-problem-with-unconscious-bias-it-takes-away-any-responsibility-13872478/
