No doubt there are many studies that show that the vast majority of people show racial preference.

One that springs to mind is the reaction times in shooting simulators when police are
presented with images of black and white males holding either telephones or guns.

But a "vast majority", however vast, does not speak for everyone.

Human natures are not hard to overcome. There are many abhorant things that are
in human nature, but not in a decent man's mind or actions.
Yes but these are subconscious reactions which can be measured by measuring the eye's iris reactions when shown pictures of people of other races, you can try and ignore it or you can even overcompensate but it is there.
I don't doubt that.
People react diffrently to the familiar and unfamiliar.

No doubt you get similar results when you present people with pictures of violins and
doors or any other kind of object.

That does not mean they are biased to one or the other.
