A really interesting game on whether we're unconsciously biased. Then they link it to the presidential election.

My results:

Your data suggests a moderate automatic preference for White people over Black people

Your data suggest no difference in your automatic preferences for John McCain vs. Barack Obama

 

Your data suggests a moderate automatic preference for White people over Black people

Your data suggests a strong automatic preference for Barack Obama over John McCain

Meh. This is what I got.

 

What the fuck? But I hate niggers. Honest.

 

That. And yet:

/me is confused.

 

Your data suggests a strong automatic preference for White people over Black people

 

Lol, this is shit. I had got so acclimatised to white/good being e and black/bad being i that I got over half of them wrong after they were changed around. Came up with "slight preference for whites". I don't doubt that if it had started the other way around, with white/bad on e and black/good on i then my results would be the reverse.

To me this tests not so much your in-built preferences as your ability to adjust to changes in controls. Which I failed at lol. I'm surprised I didn't come up with "there were too many errors to get a result" - by the time the last sequence came around I just panicked and started hitting random keys, got most of the wrong.

 

They did say that the test is inaccurate if you have too many mistakes.

 

Nice test. Yeah, I realised the number of errors was slightly higher with "black" photos than with "white" photos.

 

Stupid test, you know damned well if you are or aren't on any level, it doesn't take mashing keys to figure it out.

Am I racist. No. However, I will call both races the N word if they have their pants down around their ass cheeks, and act ignorant, which is the definition of the word.

 

I must be racist. I pressed "D" the instant the first picture came up - which was of a black man.

 

LOL, on the test that was race alone I was told I slightly preferred white people. On the Obama-McCain and race test I was told "Your data suggests that you strongly prefer black people to white people," but "You slightly prefer John McCain over Barack Obama."

 

Your data suggests a strong automatic preference for White people over Black people

Your data suggests a moderate automatic preference for John McCain over Barack Obama

 

I wanted to be at least a smidgen edgy...

 

You were probably too drunk to do the test. If you always press N for Nigger they assume you hate all people alike.

 

"
Your data suggest little or no association between White American and Black American with Harmless Objects and Weapons."


Bullcrap. Everbody knows that black people are in gangs and speak trash and bash people up!

On a serious note, it's a pretty interesting study they have there.

Can't be that inaccurate, that's basically how I feel.

Your data suggests a strong automatic preference for Barack Obama over John McCain

 

No preference in terms of black v. white, but strong preference for Obama v. McCain. Which is funny, because I *know* I'm at least a bit racist. I mean, fuck, I live in Louisiana. 'Nuff said.
