In honor of MLK Day I took the implicit association racism test that I think the Harvard Psychology Dept came up with it. You can probably find it by googling those words. I take this like once a year. They've changed it up though and now they show pictures instead of names. It gives you pictures of black and white people and then good or bad ( Read more... )

Yeah it was, but it was okay walking with gloves and hat. Did not a relaxing stroll though...apparently it's supposed to get colder.

Oh, dear. My test showed a strong automatic preference for blacks over whites. I'm a big racist! lol

My first result was inconclusive. Inconclusive! So I had to take it over again. Then it said I had no preference, when I was really expecting it to say I have an implicit prefernce toward whites. I wonder what a test with some arabs, latinos, and east asians thrown in would reveal.

aaron thinks you took the test very slowly to make sure you got them all right.

Hehe. I think I went too fast. At the beginning of every task it said to do it fast, and so I kept getting red x's because I forgot which was supposed to be good and which bad. And then when they were reversed I got all confused. The second time around I did slow down, though.
So in the end, it should have told me I was racist.
Oh, I'm burying my face in my hands. I'm such a bad man. It's because there's Nazi blood in the family. I tried to embrace it, then I tried to condemn it, and now it's left me nowhere and nothing. Nothing. haha. I've worked with less.

Apparently, I have a slight automatic preference for blacks over europeans. This is bunk. I decided today that I am Racist As Fuck, because I hate my roommate for no good reason, and she is black. Then again, my other roommate is white and I hate her too, but still.
