I don't get this "implicit bias" concept. According to media and social media, if I deny that I'm a racist, then I'm just not aware of my implicit bias. Honest question, how is it this different from:

1, If you believe in Jesus, then you can walk on water. If you can't walk on water, then you don't truly believe in Jesus.

2, Chinese saying, "杀人诛心“,meaning that accusing one's motive is worse than killing that person, as the accused couldn't even defend against the accusation. Attacking the Motive is a logical fallacy, no?

3, Back in the 1960s in China, if you were born in a not-so-red family and denied that you were counter revolutionary, then you were just deeply counter revolutionary, and therefore deserved more severe punishment.

Since when people are not judged by their behavior but their thoughts that someone else assert?
