And how do you handle your manager having a cultural or unconscious bias against your <race / religion / body type / gender / appearance / clothing / hair color / fragrance of the soap you use / eyewear / etc.>? You just live with them not liking you and not measuring up to others in their mind?

Subjective evaluation for performance purposes is often done by committee for this reason. Your work is read by several people who are unlikely to have the same idiosyncratic biases, at least some of whom don't know you. (That cuts both ways, though; they also don't know the context for the work).
