"Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for European American compared to African American."
- Well, that was interesting. It was called the Race Test and it was on the Harvard website. I learned something about myself today.
- 16% got "Slight preference", 27% of people got "Moderate reference" like me, 27% got "Strong preference", 17% were neutral, and 12% had their preferences the other way.
- I took 2 others. I'm neutral on the Asian one and the Skin-tone one. Which, I could've sworn would've leaned towards one of the preferences. I'll take a few more tests later.

- Click Demonstration, then click Take a Demo Test. It might mess up if you take multiple tests.
Edit: Oh wait! I just remembered this test was shown on King of the Hill where Peggy was trying to prove she wasn't racist.

Yeah. it was. I'm not surprised that it came back with some preference. Those tests are designed to work a certain way. you might have noticed the obvious bias to the answers.

I did the weapons one. Big surprise for me, I have a slight association of weapons with white Americans. Huh, I wonder what gave them that idea...

Slight prefernce for males in carrer and females to family
Slight prefernce for Africans over Europeons
I can see two purposes for this test and I don't like either of them too much. The tests did seem out of balance though.

Of course this test isn't what it's supposed to be. It was made up by those left wing weirdos at Harvard. It's designed to make you more "racially conscious". Yet another subliminal message to the masses.

- Yeah, I did notice how they skewed the results. The end result percentages were predictable. I also think muscle memory messed me up when they switched the words and keys.
