I think that instead of black faces, they should perform the same test only with oriental faces or with random alien pictures. White European versus Alien.
Racism is not simply differentiating between races, but rather, through actions that create inequality between them. One can have a personal preference for one group over another, but as long as they are not taking tangible actions that harm the other group, we should not feel guilty about perferring one over another.
BTW, Strong European talking, so I probably should be making my little justification for not feeling White Guilt at my Klan meeting before we burn some crosses and talk about our next Minuteman patrol weekend.

I have no idea what it would say about me, cause I ain’t adding to their personal information database. Guess that makes me a racist.

Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between African American and European American.
I still think this is one of the stupidest tests I have ever taken.

Rigged test. They associate White people with Good things (and blacks with Bad) at the end of the test after you’re getting used to the rules of the game.
FYI I had a slight preference for White Europeans according to them, but I disagree with the premise of the test. Mainly because I believe that it’s the individual that matters, NOT the group they belong.

Carol…You have an excuse for not being able to punch the key fast. (broken finger.) I hope you heal really fast! That is probably racist of me???

Such tests reflect the bias of those designing the test, even the definition of what is or is not racism reflects the bias of those designing these tests.
Everyone on earth, to varying degrees is a racist and everyone is a racist in a positive and negative sense.
I have a multi-cultural family, my grandson and best buddy is my African-American grandson; but, I am a racist, both with negative and positive racial feelings and at differing emotional levels.
So, I agree with Mickey, what is the point of this test?

Guys, who here are conservatives and/or Republicans? If you answered ‘I am’ or ‘yes’, you are racist.
Have a great day.

This “are you a racist” test sets you up for failure so that you are racist against those who are African American. those that are European American are related to words that are good and the African American words are related to those that are bad. so basically your set up for failure and in the end everyone who takes the test is a racist. This test is to get you thinking and is a trick test

I have a strong preference for European Americans compared to African Americans. Hmmmm!

EEOC. Treat everyone the same. Just like shit.
Mickey
My brother in law is African American….and he is white.
So what’s he point of the question again?

racism is a two way street!

Every question assumes the conclusion, more or less, that people are bigots. In other words, our nation’s premier liberal arts university has set up a monstrous exercise in begging the question.
Maybe an introductory logic course is more their speed.

You’re right. This is the most stupid thing. All it shows is that I’m a little slow in punching the right key.

This was the most retarded test I’ve ever taken. If I wasn’t racist before, I may be now after being programmed “Black Guy – Evil – Black Guy – Failure.” I think these idiots need some serious help. I though Harvard was supposed to be a good school?
Greg
It said I have little to no preference. Hmmmm…

Read about this in Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.

You mean I am a discriminating racist based solely on the fact that I am coordinately challenged?
docdave
I still think this is one of the stupidest tests I have ever taken.
I arrived at that notion after seeing the first question. There really is no African American or European American so it is invalid to lump everyone into one of these categories.
If you want to see racism, travel in any other part of the world and be White.

I hate everyone equally!!

Well, I think the Europeans/Africans switch from good words to bad words later in the test.
I’m not even sure how the test determines whether you’re racist or not. Frankly, I’ve always determined whether or not I like somebody by the things they say and do…and this test didn’t have anything to do with that.
