Now we're talking about reason. Implicit bias happens in the split second when we make decisions heuristically.

Use your reason. Identity politics is devisive and worthless causing emotions to over rule rationality.

"Why is 'implicit bias a huge problem for our society'?"
This question reminds of asking why is the sky blue.

I the reason the problem exists, in my understanding, is a natural tendency to see people as groups. We can overcome it by reason, but in that first split-second the ancient tribal forces predominate. To make matters worse, when this bias affects our institutions, it begets more identity group tribalism. This is horrible because human progress has come from people acting as individuals using reason. It's a staggeringly important problem, but I think over the arc of history it's going away. There are whole books on why it happens.

That’s great! I can just see these white people secretly wanting to punch themselves in the face due to their programmed white guilt.
These people seriously need to be sent to a deprogramming center.

Love this. https://youtu.be/QhPFwZfSNbo

Thesedays, some people can simply look at a white male person and unconsciously assume that they are privileged.
Do these perpetrators also require anti-unconscious bias training?

Yes a real problem ........a brainwashed ignorant populace.
Courtesy of the left and no child gets ahead

Not a real problem but It does provide feel good brain washing jobs to recently graduated social studies majors. Parasites have to eat too.

Why is "implicit bias a huge problem for our society?

Bias is clearly not a crime.

"There's definitely a bias against Starbucks"
Is bias a crime if so is Starbucks a victim?

Based on what you said and what's in the article, you can't tell if it was racial. The men claim no one asked them to leave. There's definitely a bias against Starbucks. They can't win. Implicit bias is a huge problem for our society. I saw a story where a journalist observed it in Starbucks' policy of ejecting people. We can't know if any one case is due to implicit bias or even outright racism, so Starbucks can't win. Imagine how much people would hate them if they took no action.

+++++Your first paragraph says it all..

We live in a crazy world, that is getting crazier by the day.

Why does there have to be any bias is it because the men happened to be black?
The recorded call the manager made to the police described two men ....... she stated no other fact regarding appearance. Is it bias because they were black? Or is the message if you call the police and the suspect is black you will be fired?
In addition you will be accused of "unconscious racial bias".

How should Starbucks handle it? They're already have a stigma. I don't know if it's like this everywhere, but professional orgs, businesses, and non-profits frequently meet in non-profits. It's the "third space" that Starbucks pioneered, but now they're stigmatized even though they do a good job. I don't know what they should do. Implicit bias is a huge problem. Their failing to acknowledge it would be worse than doing nothing.

Please remember that, Blue Lives Matter, also

Atlas Shrugged is tremendous. Hank Readon would never throw a good employee under the bus but James Taggert sure would . Howard Schultz is James Taggert. In Rand's Fountainhead a different Howard ......Mr Roark would never blame an employee like Scultz did.

“This was a set-up in that the incident was staged.”
I would not be at all surprised if it was.

This was a set-up in that the incident was staged.

Amazing how little the public cares to investigate the matter. Couple black guys sat down, didn't buy anything, asked to use the bathroom, were asked if they were buying anything, said no, asked to leave, refused, and refused, cops called, refused 3 more times, then finally cuffed for trespassing.

But "blacks arrested for being black in starbucks" is so much easier.

Lefty Schultz is getting what he deserves.

Howard Schultz? Owner, CEO, Head Honcho? Only wealthy folks sue. Middle class, average income, have neither the time nor the finances to hire a lawyer. Sometimes even in the case of the most egregious of situations.

I’ve read it, three times. Great book. Although, it has nothing about private businesses forced to march in step to todays social diversity trainers from some sociology studies department.
