#1 Beards are more trustworthy. Men with beards are seen as more trustworthy. Americans have a pro-beard bias.

#2 People are only biased because that is how they are hardwired. The scientists who study human behavior believe that bias exists as a human survival mechanism. We must understand that our friends, family, and colleagues are human and are designed to have bias.

#3 The bias minefield is wherever someone has a bias about people. If you want to see all hell break loose, express bias about a person or group of people who share some sort of similarity.

#4 It has become dangerous to admit even subconscious biases, and people have taken heat for acknowledging past biases. So remember to have compassion for others when they reveal their biases, and don't beat yourself up about it.
