Implicit racism test

Filed under: Uncategorized — Lydia @ 8:27 pm

If you saw the latest “Lie To Me,” the firefighters are tested for implicit racism to see who killed one of them. You can take the test here.

My score was:

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

Yeah, but if they reported the FULL results, they’d had found that I’m really prejudiced against my right hand. :-)

What I find interesting is all the plucked eyebrows of the white people. Even the men looked plucked! What the heck? And there were only female whites, as far as I could tell. (At least, I think they’re women….) *shakes head* The fringes of white hair also looked….too perfect. Basically, the whites looked like magazine pictures. (So I probably had a reaction AGAINST them, if the reporting were honest, because they felt fake to me.)

So you can take the test if you want, but it feels hinkey to me. The overly groomed whities seem hand-picked to make people like them better.
