Speaking of RACISM....
(why can't we have this emote?)
Did anyone happen to notice a general theme in the dress of blacks versus whites in this test?
Notice the clothing styles....
Guy #1: Well-fitting clothes, and clean hair cut.
Guy #2: Lil' Rascal stance, sleeves, and pant legs. Child-like hair and innocent baby face.
Guy #3: Oversize clothing, complete with urban-style shirt sticking out the bottom.
Guy #4: Worn, oversized sport (football?) jersey.
Guy #5: Ill-fitting shirt. Pants on the ground, akin to sagging.

Good to know whoever created this test is good at perpetuating stereotypes.
What I have learned from this test: White people are either clean-cut, geeky, or doe-eyed innocents, and, based on the presentations given by the test author, black people are are all thugs and wannabes.
Doesn't seem to me that it is scientifically sound to use an experiment to attempt to confirm a theory or held belief. It would be much more accurate (as in less biased) to use a series of experiments to CREATE a conclusion.
But hey, what do I know? I'm just some guy on the internet.
