Will Smith slaps Chris Rock: A lesson in implicit bias

What can this slap teach us about implicit bias?

By now, most of you have probably debated this very public slap between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the dinner table with your nine friends (side note: hurray, Singapore opens up dining to 10 people!).

Do you think Will Smith had a right to defend his family like that, or did the assault make you angry? Everyone judged this situation through their implicit biases, influenced by personal beliefs and experiences. Which side of the argument are you on?
