    Sure, but you’ve also unveiled an implicit bias there.

    It’s like saying the person was black. You didn’t need to, it has no bearing on the story. It shows that something about that particular characteristic had an effect on the situation for you, even subconsciously.

    It’s not the hugest deal, it might not even be negative. I catch myself doing it sometimes, we all have stuff that was built into us that we don’t know is there.
