The "legitness" of it isn't the problem as much as the fact that implicit bias doesn't predict future behavior or attitudes. A subconscious bias means little to nothing to planned behavior.
Too bad that 'implicit bias' research was one of the first psych fields to fall apart in the replication crisis, and 'implicit bias training' doesn't work -- it's basically a guilt tax on corporations.https://twitter.com/BBCWorld/status/986035998294511617 …

I like how Ben Shapiro put it: it's a ghost of a ghost so how can you unlearn or stop a thought you can never know you're supposedly having?

Why was it bias? 2 guys wanted to use the toilets without paying for a coffee which is against Starbucks policy.

Using the bathroom shouldn't result in being handcuffed. Stern looks and terrible shame, sure. Handcuffs? Look, just pretend the were white teenagers for a second and imagine how different the whole thing would have been.

Here they go again... slow but steady is our journey to turn most people into useless, weak, 'harmless' offense consuming and outrage outputing organisms.

Implicit bias training is a really clever way to sell companies expensive press releases.

I'd be down for this training if they could deliver it unconsciously as well. Like a tape to play while napping at work. Win - win!

Sociologist pitching in: yes, high implicit bias is not a predictor of action. But I've not seen conclusive evidence that education addressing how implicit (and explicit) bias manifest in the world - ie, in action - do not produce behaviour change over time.

My sense is the opposite: that some forms of education/learning can address how our biases and prejudices manifest in our actions. But even then, it doesn't mean our levels of implicit bias change.
