Implicit Bias
Are we more racist, sexist and homophobic than we realize? David Edmonds investigates what is called implicit bias.
Do we unconsciously harbour racist and sexist attitudes? Far fewer people are explicitly racist than a couple of decades ago. They won't express or admit to racist sentiments. But what happens beneath the conscious level? In recent years there has been an explosion in research into what's called implicit bias.

Producer: Ben Carter.
