Our unconscious mind is amazing. It can process much more information than our conscious mind. It makes shortcuts based on our background, cultural environment and personal experiences to make quick decisions about everything around us.

It is also wrong a lot of the time, especially when it comes to people that are different from us in areas of race, skin color, disability, gender, religion, age, appearance, and more.
