So much faux outrage nowadays.

Implicit bias is when you witness a racist incident at Starbucks, record it and tells your friends what happened, but they still question your version of events and imply that something else must have happened to cause the men to get arrested.

This is what DePino said happened to her.

“So many of my white friends were saying to me ‘there has to be more to the story than that,’” DePino said. “It’s so frustrating.”

DePino said it upsets her that her fellow white people don’t recognize that implicit bias is real.

“It’s like they don’t believe because they don’t see it,” she said.

But the truth is, they do see it. They see it every day. Things happen to black people every single day that would never happen to a white person simply because of implicit bias.

“If I had gone in there and not ordered a drink, they never would have called the police on me,” DePino said.
