Not The Invisible Man.
Clearly the implicit bias is that all of these reading requirements were written by White men. In an attempt to redress this problem I have noticed lately that the NY Times book review seems to be bending over backwards to review books written by women of color.

I'm trying to remember my freshman English class. Every other Friday we had to submit a five hundred word essay on the class readings. On alternate Fridays we had to write an in-class paragraph or two on those readings. The readings included the following:
Catcher in the Rye by Salinger
Victory by Conrad
The Republic by Plato
All the King's Men by Warren
Brave New World by Huxley
Numerous essays on personal integrity by various authors.
I don't see that any of those had to do with unconscious racism or implicit bias unless the personal integrity essays did. I think I had to read The Invisible Man by Ellison but that may have been in a later year in a political science or US history class at Berkeley.
All this was 54 years ago.
