PHI 265 ETHICS/EPIST OF STEREOTYPES

An investigation into the ethical dimension of our psychological lives.  To what extent, if any, do we have control over what we believe?  Can we be held responsible or accountable for harboring stereotypes and implicit biases, even if we do not know that we have them?  Can it be morally wrong to harbor certain beliefs, stereotypes, and implicit biases?  Is it possible to wrong someone else by not believing what that person says (owing to an identity prejudice one has against that person as a reliable source of information)?
