Everyone carries biases. To an extent, we're all closed minded. It's built in, part of our wiring. And as always, there are different degrees of open/closed mindedness. The worst is what's learned in childhood. It's very hard to shake that. Religion, nationalism, submission to authority, it's all taught at an early age. For a reason.
Good luck trying to get people to change at our age. Most beliefs are locked in at this stage of life.
