The computer told me I was racist

Views on races is a sensitive topic. Many believe that they should avoid saying racial slurs. Many also consider themselves as not being racist. Studies by many sociologists show us that we make stereotypical assumptions aboutcertain races, whether they are good or bad. This tends to be linked with a comfort of who a stranger is or their identity. In my youtube video (excerpt from Everybody Hates Chris), it shows that because Chris was black, the coach wanted him on the basketball team. The show shows Chris as nerdy and uncoordinated. It's funny because many of us assume African Americans are good dancers, rappers, or athletes. We do this subconsciously. America needs to stop categorizing people and judge them as individuals.

Many media shows have touched on this issue humorously as well, such as King of the Hill. I took the test and was surprised when I scored as moderatly preferenced towards european Americans. This is weird because many of my best friends aren't european american (Asian, Black, and Iranian). I am always the person to call people out on their racist jokes. I don't see much accuracy in this test because as long as you believe you aren't that way then a quiz shouldn't tell you you're worng. I do believe that the media and family and peers put some some rascism or preference towards a race in your head, but the answer from the quiz shouldn't be so far off that it surprises you.
