Biases are a part of our humanity and we can't escape them. This said, there are some type of biases that we should learn to recognize and to deconstruct : oppressive biases. Whether it be racist, sexist, lgbtqia+phobic, ableist, fatphobic, antisemitic (and any other type of bigoted bias), we all have them. Even when we don't want to be racist, sexist, etc.

If we want our society in general, and our tech industry in particular to better itself, we need to begin by deconstructing biases. We need to do it at the individual level, but also at the societal/industrial level, as a group. Both are needed if we want to be agents of change and be better at inclusivity to make our world (at any level) more open to diversity.

Today, we'll learn about biases. We'll learn how to recognize them and how to, little by little, deconstruct them.
