How does intersectionality enhance our understanding of implicit bias in the context of racism?

Intersectionality helps us understand implicit bias by showing how different aspects of a person's identity, like race, gender, and class, interact and affect their experiences. For example, a Black woman may face racism differently than a Black man or a white woman because her identity includes both race and gender. This means that biases can be more complex; someone might unconsciously hold negative views about her based on both her race and gender. By considering these overlapping identities, we can better see how biases are not just about one factor but are shaped by multiple layers of discrimination. Understanding intersectionality allows us to address these biases more effectively, leading to a more fair and just society.
