Re: Test your hidden biases and prejudices
I thought the website was BS. I did the Judiasm test. It had me sort Jews and Bad objects together, thereby creating a link in my brain that had Jews and Bad together, and then I was to reprogram my brain to put Jews and Good together. It was BS.

Re: Test your hidden biases and prejudices
YEs it was. It had me press the i letter whenever a jewish symbol or bad work popped up. and the e letter when ever a non jewish symbol or good work popped up. So you tell me, what association was I supposed to drawl?
My results indicated I havea slight preference for other religions. I just think the test is stupid. It trained my brain and finger for the 1st half of the test to press the letter i whenever a jewish symbol or bad word popped up and then the test was suprised when I had a hard time switching the letters I press. |

Re: Test your hidden biases and prejudices
This is just nonsense. I prefer a real discussion to this sort of pseudo-scientific rubbish.
Labeling someone as a bigot or as prejudiced because of a trendy test like this is really quite serious. According to left-wing dogma, some types of prejudice are acceptable, while some are not. This "test" assumes that set of presuppositions. Unfortunately, this junk has become increasingly popular. |

Re: Test your hidden biases and prejudices
Well, yes, I do see some nonsense.
Did you actually read about the test? Or are you just assuming that you know what's happening?

Re: Test your hidden biases and prejudices
I am not and never have been a bigot. Remember: READ posts before your respond. Just a suggestion....

Re: Test your hidden biases and prejudices
I taught in a college once with another professor who had developed a test much like these which showed that we all have 'prejudice.'
OK. So here's the dilemma: What is the difference in a prejudice and a preference. Why is it wrong to feel more comfortable among your own people, the ones you were raised with and whose culture and habits you know? What is the difference in tolerating something and embracing it? There are times that I think these two concepts are used interchangeably. Example: I tolerate the Jenovah's Witnesses who bang on my door, wake me up when I have been up all night and just got to bed, then tell me I'm going to hell in a hand basket. I don't like them. I'm not going to embrace their squirrely religion, and I try to be civil to them. But they piss me off. The ones who beat my door down have no respect for my need to be able to live peacefully in my own home. I will never embrace their sick, (IMO) ways, but I'm not going to go to THEIR homes and beat THEIR door down when I know they are trying to rest. I don't want to socialize with them and have to listen to all their holier than thou talk, either. Some of these tests would call me religiously intolerant. But I don't think so. I have the right to choose my religion, my friends, and my way of life. My choices don't make me a bigot. So tell me where are the lines on these concepts. |

Think about what your saying... Tolerance..... sounds nice but its not realistic... Tolerance = intolerance. How about people just need to stop careing what others think about them? If you dont like me im not going to lose any sleep over it. If you dont like me thats your problem not mine and if you dont like me because of race, religion, creed ect then your a fool and I wouldnt want to know you anyways. Liberals have this problem with trying to control people, what for? do you really think liberalism can cure bias? Me, I have some bias but I understand and can make sense out of patterns and I'm not going to dismiss on going "trends" just so I dont look bias. Heres a great example and they are my opinions and this is America and the last time I checked I have rights to opinions.. I think Arab Muslims are more likely to blow up cars then Christians I think minorities who live in the ghetto are the cause of 90% of gun violence commited against another. Now I dont hate Muslims or minorites because they are Muslims or minorities but I just see the trend from with in there communities. Now, should I just ignore it? NO, because I can read a paper and I'm from Chicago and see what minorites do to there own communities on a daily basis. I truely think that the majority of people dont have a true bias bone in their body, I dont.... If I was really bias or racist I just wouldnt care and would go with the flow.. The thing is I do care and I want to see the legal minorites do well but any time anyone says anything about them race cards are thrown like 52- pick up. I would love nothing more then a world where people dont fight (hockey I can deal with lol) but I know its not realistic and I know there is what 7 billion people on this planet fighting for one form of supremacy or another weather is geographical or racial ect it doesnt matter. Some of you liberals need to walk up to a lion and ask why he eats the cubs that arent his own before mating with the lioness? Darwin gave us the answer to our social being 100 years ago.
