According to Harvard's Implicit Association Tests (https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/), I am moderately biased against African-Americans over European-Americans, but do not favor JFK over George Bush at all. I blame it on sorting order.
What the test does is measure your neural networks - do you link negative words to blacks more than you do to whites? However, if you're just quite aware of certain stereotypes, but don't hold them yourself, you're still going to get those results.
The cell phone/weapon black/white one is my favorite.
Yeah, I read about the random sorting order, and shouldn't affect the aggregate outcome, but I think it did affect my personal outcome. But yeah, that makes me feel a little bit better. I'm also surprised how many people already knew about this site.
