The definition of racism is "prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized". So the question in, is implicit bias considered prejudism? The definition of prejudice is "preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience". According to this definition, I believe implicit bias IS considered a form of racism, even though it may not necessarily be intentional or conscious. What especially make implicit bias racism, in my opinion, is when we consiously choose not to foster self-awareness and strive to identify our biases and counteract them in our actions and beliefs. When you know better, do better.
