Racism Test

After taking the racism test my result was that there was little or no prefrence between white and african americans. This doesn't suprise me much becuase I feel that I am aware of racism and don't go down that road as much as I can. Sure everyone makes generalizations in their head, it may even be esential. Like it said on the website back before civilization people would have to make assumptions based on people wether to trust them and try to be allies or to not and attack them. That one little stereotype in their head of what people are like could spark a war with thousands of people dying and woudned becuase of it. Now we don't need to make these types of stereotypes to decide wether or not to attack. Another good point was that stereotypes are often veiwed the way the media potrays them. So, the people who make the movies and decide what to put on the news decide what we think of groups of people.
