What 'chu mean "we", White Girl?

Last night I completed the Race Implicit Association Test. Here’s the deal: People don't always 'speak their minds', and it's suspected that people don't always 'know their minds'. Understanding such divergences is important to scientific psychology. This concept is the main idea in Malcolm Gladwell's Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking which is where I first heard about this test.

This web site presents a method that demonstrates the conscious-unconscious divergences much more convincingly than has been possible with previous methods. You can find the Implicit Association Test at https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/canada/index.jsp

This site contains various related information and other tests for implicit associations with regards to age, gender, weight, etc.

I've known about this test for a while but was reluctant to try it because I was afraid of what it might say. Maybe it would say that I was biased towards white people.

But I tried the test and my results?

“Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Black People compared to White People.”

This test is apparently a predictor of how we will act in certain kinds of spontaneous situations. These predictors won’t affect what we’ll CHOOSE to say or feel or do because most of time we aren’t aware of our most subtle behaviours. Hmmmmm . . . . interesting. It makes me think about the Thrifty’s cashier and her behaviour towards the Indigenous woman. But, "moderate automatic preference for Black People"? What does it all mean?
