Eliminating unconscious bias

My introduction to unconscious bias came in 2010, when I had just become an equity partner at a US law firm. At a social gathering after work one evening, I told one of the attendees (a South Asian male lawyer) that I worked at a law firm—without specifying my designation. But he had automatically assumed that I, an Indian woman, could not be a lawyer in a law firm in the US, much less an equity partner.
