Racism

[yawarakaijin]

Wasn't that test slightly flawed?

The first time I had to take into consideration both the meaning of the word and the race being shown it took me a little time to adjust. Considering two possiblities at once and making the decision is a little harder than deciding on just one metric right?

So in the first round when black and good was on one side and white and bad on the other side I was slower because I wasn't use to having to take into two things into consideration at once. Even at 50% of the way through of the first round I could feel my reaction time getting better.

Then we move on to the section where white is paired with good words and black is paired with bad words. Now, because I have had a little practice it, I am quicker at sorting out two criteria and am able to complete the test faster.

Bogus test if you ask me. The mere fact that simply got better at reacting, easily answers why I was quicker at the section that had black and bad words on the same side.

"Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between European American and African American."

What the hell was the point to that? It was more like Mavis Beacon teaches typing than about race. Can't believe our government is funding such pseudoscience - oh wait, this is the same government who says let's spend a billion dollars to launch a space shuttle or start a war.

I prefer educated, rational men and women of other races to ignorant, irrational dumbasses of my own.

Anyone else found it funny how the 'sorting' aligned White and Good together, while Black and Bad together?

It's a controlled experiment which means it does it both ways. First they pair white and good and then black and good.

I guess the more times you make the mistake of clickiing "bad" when a person of a particular race comes up is directly proportional to how racist you are.

im not racist, i hate everyone equally! lol

it really depends on the person, i grew up in philly then near nashville, but i love asian women. not to say that i didnt sleep with a couple non asians, BUT to marry? definitely asian, and my gf currently is korean. so yeah ^_^

I really think it depends on your environment and the such, ive said it before but im mixed korean. My mom is accepting of anyone but she PREFERS me to marry a certain. and growing up with my father and his friends their term for something broken or messed up was "niG**r-rigged" which denotes stupidity and ignorance. thankfully that never affected me, one of my best friends is black and has one of the biggest hearts ive ever seen in a person.

really depends on the person and their defining environment as well

I think generally every person on earth favours their own race with a few exceptions. From an evolutionary biological stance that makes perfect sense.
