Why should we not show biases
regardless of race, gender, or culture?

James 2:1-26 ESV

My brothers, show no partiality as you
hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Lord of glory. For if a man wearing a gold
ring and fine clothing comes into your
assembly, and a poor man in shabby
clothing also comes in, and if you pay
attention to the one who wears the fine
clothing and say, “You sit here in a good
place,” while you say to the poor man,
“You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at
my feet,” have you not then made
distinctions among yourselves and
become judges with evil thoughts? Listen,
my beloved brothers, has not God chosen
those who are poor in the world to be rich
in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he
has promised to those who love him?
