Crt is predicated on the fact that those type of biases are inbuilt and unconscious. So we are not responsible for them. But we need to be aware of them.
You can't know what you are unaware of. So you can know that they exist, but not which ones drive you or what to do about them.
And to the point I addressed earlier, taking steps to make the process eliminate bias is best. I am not sure if you read Ana's article but this part addresses that:
However, Lai said there is a more effective way to change these behaviors; one that doesn't rely on changing people's implicit biases: ridding society of the features that cause people to act in a biased way.
For example, reducing subjectivity makes it more difficult for a person's biases to affect decision-making. Instead of relying on a "gut feeling" for a hiring decision, for example, lay out the requirements first, and stick to them.
Trying to act on the knowledge you have biases, but not knowing which ones is hopeless. But if you review processes in a way that remove some of the bias potential that holds promise.
