Abstract

This Article suggests that while recognizing the ways in which implicit bias hinders diversity efforts is important, an exclusive focus on implicit bias is incomplete. Implicit bias with its' predominate focus on the unconscious behavior of individual actors, obscures the complexity of racial exclusion today. It does so by failing to account for the institutionalized and systemic nature of modern-day racism and racial exclusion. Indeed, modern day racial exclusion is often the product of systemic oppression that involves domination by one group which results in the subordination of other groups, not just the aggregate of individual biases.
