Fight the Bias (in QA) featuring Ines van Dijk

In 1990, Public Enemy released “Fight the Power” from their third album, one of the most popular and influential songs in hip hop history: People, people we are the same No we're not the same 'Cause we don't know the game What we need is awareness, we can't get careless You say what is this? My beloved let’s get down to business Mental self-defensive fitness Don't rush the show You gotta go for what you know Make everybody see, in order to fight the powers that be The song is, among other things, a call to recognize and mitigate the bias that guides our decisions and attitudes. 30+ years later, our recognition of our own bias is still suspect and can impact basic functions of support and service organizations like Quality Assurance.
