Host bias refers to the tendency of a host, such as a person or organization, to favor or show preference towards certain individuals or groups over others. This bias can manifest in various forms, including but not limited to, providing better treatment, opportunities, or resources to the favored group, while neglecting or discriminating against the unfavored group. Host bias can stem from personal beliefs, societal norms, or systemic inequalities, and can have a significant impact on the experiences and outcomes of those who are affected by it. It is important to recognize and address host bias in order to promote fairness and inclusivity in all aspects of society.
