“When we see beings as belonging to a particular group, for instance, we start to believe there's something fundamental and biological that unites all the creatures in that group, that there's some invisible essence that makes a dog a dog and a cat a cat.

And the more a category is emphasized, the more we think its members have a unifying thread.” IdentityLabelsCategoriesBiasStereotyping Book:The End of Bias: A Beginning: How We Eliminate Unconscious Bias and Create a More Just World Source: The End of Bias: A Beginning: How We Eliminate Unconscious Bias and Create a More Just World
