Highly recommend this book. The author does a wonderful job of weaving the scientific research studies with personal stories of people impacted by racism. It makes the book more readable and more heart wrenching. We, as a country, need to do better.

The focus on policing wasn't what I was looking for.

Good revision of research studies on racial bias mostly in the context of the United States. Dr. Eberhardt revisits the issue of racial bias in a number of contexts including her experience working with different police departments. The lack of commitment and engagement she describes on behalf of these groups is, unfortunately, unsurprising.
I found the content relevant, but far from mind-blowing, as it does not really bring anything new to the table we do not already know. The question, at least to me, is how to move beyond our complex biased societies (not only when it comes to race) to safer and better-functioning ones.

I’m glad I read Biased and I’m really glad I read it via audio book. Dr. Eberhardt was a fantastic reader. She was very engaging to listen to. She came across as genuine as she had experienced some of the discrimination she wrote about herself. I thought the information on implicit bias was very interesting. I enjoyed learning about it and about myself. I think the information in Biased is important for people (read white people) to learn, especially in today’s political climate. I think every white person should read this book.
