Unpacking and Transforming Your Biases For A Better Community | Denise Hernandez | TEDxSanAntonio

The goal of this talk is to begin the process of dismantling our implicit societal biases in order to move toward greater acceptance and celebration of our differences and work toward more cohesive, understanding communities.
Denise Hernández graduated from Business Careers High School and
attended Baylor University. Following encounters with explicit racism for the first time, she began to self-examine her place in society. She was selected as a
“Rising Star in Their 20’s” by MySA.com in 2015 and is a co-founder of La Con Safos Beca, a scholarship for Chicano/Brown/undocumented students. She is
the founder of Maestranza, which engages the community through education, outreach and activism. She is a Big Sister in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and an advocate against injustice, particularly related to police brutality, the school-to-prison pipeline, and education systems.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

great job! I believe many of these implicit biases are imbedded in our culture, but you are correct, the change has to start with ourselves.

She dumb af claiming Mexicans are oppressed because being denied a job because of your name lol she's a joke and had nothing to do with her life

[@raulrios158]

+Larry Elder has*

[@Ancient_West]

+Larry Elder it was an actual experiment that she referenced.

[@raulrios158]

+Rojer Villarreal doesn't mean anything she wants to be a Mexican rosa park claiming Mexicans are oppressed like black people are lol

[@Ancient_West]

+Larry Elder but Mexicans are persecuted, albeit nowhere near as much as Black's. For her to be bringing attention to this, and yet you're denying, shows that it needs to be discussed more. There's plenty of information and studies to back her claims. NPR just ran a story where Temp work agencies were specifically seeking out Mexican and Chicano workers, so that they could pay them less and scare them with deportation if they tried to argue it.

[@nancymonroe9192]

why don't you have a Spanish transcript for Denise Hernandez talk on implicit bias?

[@samherb1]

But is bias negative when your bias is based on facts?

IAT can not be used as a personal diagnostic test. It is not reliable enough.
