Just tried the first test after this link, regarding African American/European American bias:- https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/ ...and got "Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between European American and African American." Hurrah for me - I knew I was a nice bloke! |

I remember New Scientist reporting on a study that suggested that people are better at reading the emotions of who resemble themselves. With a bit of extrapolaiton, you can see how this might cause racism. |

I hope I've expressed the above clearly. I resemble myself. |
