Hedreich Nichols offers educators to reflect on their “blind spots” and why that makes a person react the way they do; triggers. What/why do you suppose that blind spots will be important to understanding implicit bias?
There are always reasons behind why people do and say certain things. They may be reasons we don't know or even reasons the person themselves doesn't even know. Hedreich Nichols offers this suggestion because the more we reflect and understand our "blind spots" or bias may help us to better understand why we do, say, and feel certain things, and it's in this understanding that we have room for growth. The more we understand ourselves, the more we can understand each other.
