I thought perhaps you were making an argument about the domain generality of the psychological mechanisms underlying cognitive biases. You weren't. I agree the article discusses other biases as well. That doesn't seem worth debating.
That humans have cognitive biases doesn't surprise me. That those cognitive biases are reflected in cognitive neuroscience research doesn't surprise me either. I do find the implicit (as opposed to explicit) racism angle interesting.
Scientific American is a popular press publication. It's not surprising that there isn't much data in the article. If you want to get "scientific information" about the topic, I would avoid wikipedia and go to the articles referenced in the OP.
