In class we did a couple of websites that are pretty much designed to prove that almost everybody has racism set in their minds, whether they want to or not. One game was interesting that had you assosiate good and bad words with African American and European American, and based on the amount of time you took to answer somehow it is able to tell you if you have a preference to one side or not. Ill admit, if i took that game i would probably end up having some instinctual preference, which I wihs i didnt. but im sure its built into me. All i can do now is try to break from that, and if more people took that test or payed attention to racism maybe they could try to eliminate it. Another game we played was categorizing the people into these boxes of races. Its really funny that out of like 30 people we got liek 4 right. It shows that you cant tell a person just by looking at them, and its sad when people judge other people by their race
