Abstract
I argue that actions that result from our implicit biases – like the implicit racism of slowing the pace of speech when meeting a foreign-looking person or when a white policeman is more likely to identify an object in the hands of an African-American as threatening than when the same object is in the hands of someone white - are automatic intentional actions: namely those actions meet both the conditions for automaticity (and are therefore automatic actions) and also the conditions for intentionality (and are therefore intentional actions).
