Re: Test your hidden biases and prejudices
I only took the black/white test, and from what i saw, the only question asked that related to your racial preference was when they came out and asked "do you prefer blacks or whites?" The matching section was a joke, and does not prove anything. Just because you associate X with Y, doesn't mean anything. Seems more likely to me that if you where labeled "racist" by the test, you where just associating things you are familiar with as good, and less familiar things as "bad" something we all do to some extent on a daily basis. I'm also inclined to believe those whos score showed them favoring the opposite race where probably so afraid of being labled racist they subconciously associated white with bad, and black with good. As much as it pains me to agree with mr. wolf, it does appear, to me at least, this is a tool to instill guilt, whether thats what it was intended to do, though, is beyond me.
