​What is bias?

Bias (noun): prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair.

What this means:​ our background, experiences, and beliefs shape the way we feel and talk about certain topics.

​EVERYONE HAS BIAS (and it isn't necessarily a bad thing; it depends on how we act on those biases)
