implicit and unintentional racism.

Hi guys,
I thought I'd share this with all of you. I first heard/took this test back in high school close to when it first came out. The whole premise is that even those of us who say we don't discriminate against any minority group, whether it be a racial, sexual, or what have you group, that we have subconscious tendencies to be discriminatory. I'm not sure of the validity of it, but it would already be harder for each of us to take it with the what we've learned in class. Our bias towards explicitly not trying to be racist would skew the results, I think. But you might find it interesting and even fun to take one of the other tests. Enjoy.
