A vicious circle: Stereotypes WARP how our brains 'see' faces to make them appear in a way that supports our biases

Despite more women in the workplace and increasingly multicultural cities, stereotypes are holding firm. And now neuroscientists have discovered our stereotypical views can warp how our brains see faces, ultimately forcing them to conform to preconceptions. The discovery sheds light on how unintended bias affect the way people behave, and why it such biases are so hard to shake. Despite more women in the workplace and increasingly multicultural cities (stock image of a black man is pictured) stereotypes are holding firm. The research was carried out by Jonathan Freeman, an assistant professor in New York University's Department of Psychology and his colleagues.
