I've never seen an unconscious golfer hit a golf ball.

not trying to wind you up but it is a bad metaphor.

Probably better to use Implicit bias. I.e the unconscious stereotyping of race or ethnicity.

I have no quarm's regarding that, as depending on culture and how you are raised it is likely you will hold particular stereotypes.

in general though I have yet to find a way to prevent this, i doubt anyone has
