My data suggests a strong automatic preference for European Americans compared to African Americans. Not surprising considering I grew up with a racist father and grandfather.

I do not think it was very accurate because I took it a couple times. My data showed I had a slight preference for European Americans one of the times and then the other time it said I slightly preferred African Americans. I do not prefer one over the other.

I took the test and it said that I had a slight preference for European Americans, but I do not actually prefer one of them over the other like my test showed.

My data suggests little to no automatic preference between European American and African American. I think that that's mostly true for me. After learning how this experiment works, I'm curious as to how they came up with it.

I took it twice and the first time it said that I had a strong preference to European Americans and the second time it was an automatic preference to European Americans.

Mine said I had a slight automatic preference for European American compared to African American. Makes sense considering I try to be unbiased but there are some things just ground into the way I think from early childhood and the media.

My data suggest a strong automatic preference for European Americans compared to African Americans. It can be accurate because most of my family is racist and I haven't had many engagements with African Americans.

My data suggests a slight automatic preference for European American as compared to African Americans. As of now, I'm not entirely sure what to think of this. I think the appropriate course of action and intent of this experiment is to reflect on not only how we, myself included, judge others but why. If I said I didn't feel guilty, I would be lying. If I said I didn't try to come up with excuses at first, ie. the order of the tests in the experiment are skewed, I'd be lying as well. Although I've found that it is a natural response (DEFENSE MECHANISMS), there is no ignoring the fact that something can be done about it. I recognize that the media certainly hasn't helped me overcome my stereotypes; however, as soon as individuals can take responsibility for their own part in society and act in order to reverse such negativity, things will begin to improve.
