Biased: The elderly woman was a fine college professor.

Unbiased: She was a fine college professor. (-- Her age has no bearing on her intelligence.)

Biased: The old ball and chain still is the best wife for me.

Unbiased: My wife is the best. (--- She is a human, not a ball and chain.)

Biased: The Mexican (Hispanic / Black / Immigrant ) student did surprisingly well with algebra.

Unbiased: The student did well with algebra. (No reference to culture or "surprisingly".)

Biased: My little woman does what I tell her.

Unbiased: My wife is my equal.

Biased: (and racist) The only jobs Black women do well is cleaning.

Unbiased: Inequality keeps many women in low-paying domestic type work. (No reference to race.)

Biased: The couple keeps having kids just to increase their welfare money.

Unbiased: The couple has 5 children.

Unbiased: Although some people say couples on welfare have children to earn more benefits, studies show that this is untrue.

Biased: The Japanese woman spoke perfect English.

Unbiased: Raised in Japan, she graduated with an English Lit degree from Oxford.

Biased: West Virginians only know how to dig coal out of the mountains.

Unbiased: West Virginia's employers include coal mining and health / service industries.

Unbiased: West Virginia's population includes generations of skilled coal miners.
