Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for White people over Black people.

I just took something called the Implicit Association Test (IAT), and that was my result. It was designed by smart liberals at Harvard to help identify people's implicit or subconscious racial bias (or sexual, etc., as there are multiple tests). The results supposedly feed the narrative that people are racist even when they don't realize it. Society is racist.

According to this, I am racist. What a complete pile of bullshite.

Good luck on the test.

I have a very strong automatic preference for women over men. The researchers cannot say the same.

Pretty well known fact that you are more likely to prefer what you know and are familiar with. That will be race, religion, hobbies, etc... That doesn't make you racist.

I don't need some test to let me know I'm a racist, sexist, cisgendered shitlord. Buzzfeed tells me that everyday.

As soon as you click white, you are immediately considered racist. Everything after that determines the level of racism you exude

You lost me when you said it was designed by liberals.

Might not be. Followup question:

This looks like the Harvard test I took back in college that told me I was racist against Asians.

Recognizing that differences exist isn't racist.

Having a preference isn't racist.

Subconscious preference isn't racist.

Racism requires a tangible direct conscious attempt at inequality

I wound what mj2's results will be. "data suggest an extreme preference for white people. In fact you hate black people"

The White vs Black test first associates pictures of White folk with positive attributes and African-American faces with negative attributes. Then the test flip-flops and asks you to quickly do a 180 degree change on what it made you associatively accustomed to doing.

If it were reversed we'd all show a racial prejudice towards White Americans. The test formulators are getting the results THEY desire, not reality.

tl/dr: Flawed test mode is flawed

I have a strong preference to white people over black people. But I haven't taken the test.
