It's not about making something acceptable. It's about providing factually correct information instead of making up terms. A rose by any other name is still a rose. Likewise cognitive bias by any other name is still cognitive bias.
Why are you changing the subject?

being a little cognitively biased against black people isn't any less racist a statement. listen to the absurdity as you read it aloud:
I'm not racist, I'm just cognitively biased against blacks.
and the whole world now needs treatment because we use the words cognitive bias?
I didn't change the subject, you suggested that the bias is the problem, I'm making sure that bias doesn't change the fact that it's still predjudice and racism.
