Anvilbrother 0 #26 August 31, 2011 This was not a race test this was a can you sort for 2 minutes one way then sort for 2 minutes the other way without being confused. The same test could have been done by patting your head and rubbing your stomach with a picture of a white person taped to your head and African to your stomach.... waste of time IMO Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone. Spelling and gramhair mistakes guaranteed move along, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 622 #27 August 31, 2011 Fully agreed. Train me to use these two fingers first. Change left and right choices. Mix up finger use. I'm a racist. WTF, over? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure that associating black with bad and white with good is the best measure of "racial" views though. If you look at the past few centuries we have been brought up with black magic, sayings such as it is not black or white, the dark side and the list goes on. These have nothing to do with race but show a colour association in our culture.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.

These have nothing to do with race but show a colour association in our culture. Actually these color associations have everything to do with race. They are deeply embedded in American culture (and I think elsewhere, but I have not done as much reading on that). If you want to know about the way race and color attitudes are intertwined you should look at the book White Over Black by Winthrop Jordan."What if there were no hypothetical questions?"
