theprof00 said: BTW sqrl, I think you would be interested in the result of implicit attitude tests. meta-studies of hundreds of different studies like these show that a very large amount of the population in USA have at least some unconscious racist bias against black people. I'll look for the actual statistics... but these tests along with others are the whole basis of Equal Oportunity Employment and Affirmative Action. |
I don't think you understand what "unconsious racial bias" means.
It's largely based on scenarios such as this.
"You are walking down a dark alley at night. Suddenly you see a black man/white man... etc behind you"
And then measures different uncomfortableness levels.
None of this would relate at all to Obama... where people know a lot about him.
