Racism et. al. meme

Check out the tests here to find out if you are racist, sexist, and more:

I just did the racism one, and I'm apparently the only person in my class who got this result:
"Your data suggests a moderate automatic preference for African American compared to European American."

I don't believe it. I must have subconsciously gamed the test, or something. It's not that I think I'm super racist, it's that I don't believe that I'm that much LESS racist than the general population/my classmates.

Still, it's an interesting meme.

There are similar tests for gender, weight, disability, sexual orientation, age, and more.

It's less that you're "un-prejudiced" and more that your bias can not be measured by the test. It is possible that your socialization has trained you to automatically try to refute bias by African-American faces as opposed to Caucasian ones.

Arguably if you got a moderate automatic preference for one race or another, that would just imply that you are differently racist than your classmates, not less racist than your classmates :)

(I got the same result; I checked out of curiosity.
