The UN Will Decide If America Is Racist

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

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.

Ahh! An online version of the reaction times experiment!

Faaaaaar from scientific, but interesting none the less

We all know the UN lives up it's own ass.

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.

I hate to sound contrary but yes it does, when people like something their Iris opens when they don't it closes, you can't help that, you can help how you deal with that reaction but it's something you have. Even stranger even black males don't like black males.



Not a scientific assesment perhaps...

Liking or disliking something does not make you racist either.

Show me 100 pictures of women and 100 of men and no doubt my iris will give away a
preference for female faces. I also, like everyone else, have ascetic preference that
includes skin tone.
Likewise I have strong cultural preferences.

Aesthetic, cultural and other such preferences are certainly not racism.

You can hate the look of Asian faces, despise rice and cartoons with large eyes,
but that doesn't make you a racist.
It is only racism when you dislike these things because they are of the Asisn race
and believe that your preferences are an objective, non-relative assessment. Only
then will you base other other judgements on your preferences.
