Perhaps the gravest injustice is the image of the welfare queen.
There's the stereotype that Black women are the largest demographic on welfare which makes no sense. Black women account for only 10% of the US population, but are the largest group receiving welfare? When in actuality household headed by a White person account for over 70% of those on welfare. So this stereotype has literally no evidence behind it. It's just pure prejudice.

heir beauty is attacked: wrong hips, lips, noses, skin texture, skin pigmentation, and hair texture.
I grew up as one of the few black kids in my area. I felt ugly because I didn't have the long straight blonde hair that all of my friends did. It wasn't until I moved away that I realized there was beauty in my skin. I'm mixed and my sister is lighter than me with facial features that are more White. She was always told she had the "good" hair and was exotic looking. While I was just the black kid with the "crazy" hair.

The most effective check against them, as Kahneman says, is from the outside: Others can perceive our errors more readily than we can.
This is so true because we're proud people. But also directly conflicts with the notion that we're our own worst critics

Sunk-cost thinking tells us to stick with a bad investment because of the money we have already lost on it; to finish an unappetizing restaurant meal because, after all, we’re paying for it; to prosecute an unwinnable war because of the investment of blood and treasure. In all cases, this way of thinking is rubbish.
How much of this thinking is related to pride? Refusing to admit you made a mistake

the tendency for people to place a disproportionately high value on objects that they partially assembled themselves.”
This has the exact opposite effect for me. If I had to put it together myself I KNOW it wasn't done well. I feel quality products come premade by someone who knows what they are doing.

Present bias shows up not just in experiments, of course, but in the real world. Especially in the United States, people egregiously undersave for retirement—even when they make enough money to not spend their whole paycheck on expenses, and even when they work for a company that will kick in additional funds to retirement plans when they contribute.
I think this is less an issue of present bias and more so an issue that people don't know how much they actually save to maintain a certain lifestyle for retirement. That's not generally something you learn in school

3general elections, further weakening the legitimacy of a process already damaged by the incumbent president’s public criticism.
Even with the archaic system of standing in line and marking a piece of paper as to who you are voting for, people still claim voter fraud every election. Sure there's security issues that come with online voting, but it's a lot harder to claim voter fraud with a non-paritsan system counting votes rather than a person.

Trump unilaterally announced a travel ban from Europe,41withdrew the U.S. from the WHO,42 pushed forward executive orders43 restricting immigration, and repeatedly blamed China for the severity of the crisis.

science and expertise is at the heart of the political debate.
This is part of the issue with how the pandemic has been handled. Why has a medical issue been turned into a political one? The opinions of experts should matter more in these situations than that of a politician.
