When Your Brain Betrays You
Picture a classroom where children wearing blue shirts suddenly believe they're superior to those in red-not because anyone told them so directly, but simply because their teacher kept saying "Good morning, blue-shirts!" This wasn't playground politics. It was a controlled experiment revealing something unsettling: our brains are wired to create hierarchies from thin air. We don't need centuries of history or deeply held hatred to develop bias. We just need categories and a little emphasis. This is the uncomfortable truth at the heart of understanding prejudice. Our minds evolved to sort information quickly-a survival mechanism that helped our ancestors distinguish friend from foe. But this same mental shortcut becomes dangerous when applied to people. We essentialize groups, assuming members share some fundamental nature. We exaggerate differences between groups while minimizing diversity within them. Most disturbingly, categorization warps perception itself: when people feel threatened, they literally see Black faces as darker and Arab faces as angrier. A simulation called NormCorp demonstrated how even tiny biases-just 3% in performance evaluation-eventually resulted in men occupying 82% of top positions after twenty promotion cycles. No conspiracy needed. Just the quiet accumulation of countless small moments where someone seemed slightly less capable, slightly less leadership material. The math does the rest.
