Subconsciously racist?

https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/

I'm posting it too, Sarah. Not that anyone reads else reads my blog. Har har.

This quiz told me I was moderately racist, which was a surprise to me. It does it all by weird subconscious sorting. Apparently I prefer light skin to dark skin? I guess it's not that big of a surprise, growing up in what's basically the ghetto of nova. I don't know how reliable the test it, but I guess I wouldn't disagree with it. My boyfriend may be half black, but I still think he's rather light skinned. Honestly it was sort of a surprise that I was attracted to him in the first place, if that makes sense. Before I was restricted to only pretty white boys. Now I'm just digging myself into a hole.

But the quiz also told me I had a moderate preference for straight people over gay people, which I can't believe is true. David's one of my very best friends, he's gay, and I absolutely love being with him.

And I moderately think females should stay in the kitchen and make sandwiches. I thought I was doing good on that one too. Lame. My roommate won't like that. Bahaha.

I think I'm just really bad with the sorting. I freak out and get confused.

    Just kidding. This may tell you that you're subconciously racist and what not, but I know you don't act on it, if that's true.

    I can't wait to see what my mom gets on this. She's so not over the civil war.
