If you are referring to the show on H2. That dude with the crazy hair is my hero.



It depends on the person themselves, not the game.



Actually my first responce when I see a german, russian or arabic is to pull my gun and headshot them.. that's what I learned from videogames.. also robots and aliens..

I can understand your feelings, Thief 1 made me racist against zombies and Hexen did the same against swamp monsters lurking underwater.

Good show.  It tries very unsuccesfully to curb my racism towards Aliens caused by Video Games.



Sounds very plausible, I'm afraid.

Has anyone of you actually done one of these "implicit association tests"?

That's a very interesting psychological test for example for testing racism, or negative/positive attitudes towards certain groups in general. Unlike surveys that rely on people giving honest answers etc., these tests give very objective results and require quite a bit of practice in order to successfully cheat them.

The somewhat unpleasant conclusion from IATs however is that despite what people claim, most people have racist attitudes.
