Psychology Today | 24.07.2026 08:54
Calling out bias, a form of allyship, involves labeling a biased action (e.g., "That is sexist!") and pointing it out as unacceptable ("That’s not OK!"). It is often considered essential to ending discrimination. Calling out can educate a colleague about their biases and reduce future instances of biased behavior. Allies who call out bias are often upheld as courageous fighters who combat injustice.
