lesson: 

1. create heterogeneous work environment or at least acknowledge benefits of diversity: 
• "Social scientists have shown that teams and organizations whose members are heterogeneous in meaningful ways, for example, in skill set, education, work experiences, perspectives on a problem, cultural orientation, and so forth, have a higher potential for innovation than teams whose members are homogeneous." 
• "Diversity is important to organizations that innovate, but the culture of an organization determines whether minority members of the community can thrive." 
2. be aware of my bias and unlearn them: "Know your own biases. Read some of the literature about unconscious bias and about the IAT, and then take the Implicit Attitude test5 at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/."
• after taking this IAT (Implicit Aptitude Test), learned that I'm a little bit biased towards the relationship between weight and positivity. [link]
