偏見可能是好事？

Bias and prejudice are not just products of ignorance; they are natural, often rational ways the human mind makes sense of the world. From toddlers preferring puppets who like the same snack to adults favoring those in their own group, categorizing and stereotyping shape our daily decisions. Yet unchecked, these instincts can fuel tragic injustice, like lower bids for baseball cards held by black hands or harsher sentences for those who look more stereotypically black. Recognizing how these forces operate empowers people to intervene, using empathy and reason to guide moral progress.
