    My results:

    Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for White People compared to Black People.

    I'm not sure... I'm sure the longer the test goes on, the better you get at it, even though they say they've taken this into account.

    Interesting, though.

    Not exactly. Modern definition of "racist" is "the man who believes that people of different race are different". If someone says that black people have natural affinity for basketball or Jews have natural affinity for finances, he's a racist.

    PS. Btw, what is the politically correct term for inhabitants of Africa?

    Is it wrong for me to discriminate against idiots ... fuck it, you're an idiot.

    On a side issue, if I discriminate against lesbians am I guilty of lesbianism.

    W.A.S.P.: "You have black skin and I have white skin; I deduce thereby that you are of a different race.

    Black Person: "You are a Racist".



    W.A.S.P.: "You are just like me; you are my equal in every way."

    Black Person: "Have you noticed my skin-color at all."

    W.A.S.P.: "You are a racist".



    Yes, I see how that works now.

    Thanks for that.

    We both have been lesbians for a long time and proud of it.

    To me racism is discrimination on the basis of race. I will arrest you because you are black I will give you the job because you are white. To notice someone is black or white has bugger all to do with it.

    I did the sexism one by mistake not having a good morning. It did say I had no preference one way or another - challenging my lesbianism I fancy - sexist gits!

    Black Africans?

    But why would you? Do you need to specify white for Europeans?

    I'd strongly object to this, TBH, there's nothing moderate about it

    Stupid test, though, where I got stuff wrong on, was the white people = good-bit, only the questionnaire could possibly suggest I preferred whites over the black*, at all.


    As far as Skizo goes, I'd say that as long as he didn't refer to people of other "races" (still a fucking stupid concept, btw, given that the last true other human race was the neanderthals, although it's really nice of merkins to include them in their constitution, like, I'll give you that) with derogatory names, along the lines of "towelheads" or "darkies" or something, in all seriousness, then he's in the clear.


    EDit: *And why the hell all we still referring to them as black, btw? They are usually a shade of brown, like.

    It's easier than calling them a shade of brown. White people aren't "white" either. Whatever happened to calling them Caucasians?

    On a side note, I'm getting pretty tiffed at fucking idiots equating anti-illegal immigration to racism.

    Look up the recent crap in Herndon, Virginia for this idiocy.
