I got little to no preference between african american to european people. I think its because I have friends who are black and I'm familiar with the group. I might be a little more racist toward latinos to be hones. Im gonna take that test to see.

I got moderate preference to Europeans, I didn't think I was racist but I guess the test doesn't lie. I'd like to see a Xenophobic take that test

Joseph,

Your parents are African American? I had no idea.

Huy,

I can totally read that. It reminds me of bad essays I have graded.

"Your data suggest a slight automatic preference for European American compared to African American." The test was very interesting but I feel like I chose slower when they swapped the sides labeled "African-American" and "European" so I just had to think longer about which button to click, not because I prefer white people.

I didn't like this test! Every time I got a big X I felt really bad if it had to do with the African American side... if that makes any sense. Ugh. I don't really believe it to be honest.

For the Shooter Game I got..
"Your Score: 430
Average reaction time:
Black Armed:723.36ms
Black Unarmed:811ms
White Armed:705.32ms
White Unarmed:736.48ms"

This was an interesting game, and it took me a shorter time to "shoot" the white guys with the guns. I thought it was interesting that they used all males, I wonder if the outcome would be different if there were all females.

I apparently have a slight preference to Europeans. I do sometimes feel more uncomfortable around African-Americans, but that's usually because they are dressed like gangbangers. I get uncomfortable around white people dressed like that also. I guess I just subconsciously associate that with African-Americans.

For the shooter test:

Your Score: 520
Average reaction time:
Black Armed:603.2ms
Black Unarmed:684.36ms
White Armed:603.44ms
White Unarmed:676.08ms

Considering I'm going into the Army, I guess it's a good thing I can quickly distinguish between friend and foe <_<

thats my result whatever it's suppose to mean. i'd like to know how the test decides how racist you are.

Mitchell,

As I stated in class today, it doesn't tell you if "you're racist." It looks for hidden bias.

"Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for European American compared to African American".
When they switched the sides and words around i got confused and it took me longer to answer and then sometimes i would think i was going to the right side but then it was wrong.

The shooter game:

Your Score: 680
Average reaction time:
Black Armed:645.44ms
Black Unarmed:710.68ms
White Armed:655.76ms
White Unarmed:691.24ms

This was an interesting game.

I found that I had a faster reaction time shooting black armed men.It was really hard to tell sometimes what they were holding and I had to make a guess.

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

hmm well i guess thats good lol! i thought it was interesting the picture where without color, so recognition came completely from knowing the difference in facial structures

As far as my attraction to a certain race, it is totally acurate, I have always been more atracted to "white people" more than any other color of skin. HOWEVER... As for how I get along with or treat races it is not close at all, I do everything in my power to be equal to all. But like I said before the attraction part is dead on...sadly.
