Implicit racism

How racist do you think you are? Racism can often be hidden in our unconsciousness. Even though we try very hard not to be racist, we are socialized in to think of white as good and black as bad. Harvard University has been conducting a fascinating study of how we very subtly (implicitly) associate certain traits with being good or bad. Take the 'Implicit Associations Test' on race. Your results may surprise you.
