Yes, it is possible to hold biases and not act on them. A bias is a preconceived inclination or preference for or against something, and it is possible for someone to be aware of their biases without allowing them to influence their behavior or decisions. It is important to recognize and acknowledge one's own biases, as they can sometimes be unconscious and can lead to unfair treatment of others. By being aware of one's biases and actively working to overcome them, it is possible to avoid acting on them.
