Oh, "systematic bias", that's exactly the term I was looking for.

That's all fine and good, but it just seems
irrelevant and
out-of-touch with Wikipedia's open nature. I see it as inherently
unfair to evaluate somebody based on what they are-and-can't-change.
It's more a recognition of systemic bias and that this is probably not
a good thing.
