Hidden Bias

Last week in class we took a test to see if we had any hidden bias towards blacks. It said that I had a slight preference towards whites. I wasn't that shocked by the results from the test. I'm not a racist person but I understand that its not that out of the ordinary to have a slight preference towards your race. Most people feel more comfortable around people that are like them. I also didn't really think that the test could be that accurate. I mean all you had to do in the test was say if a person was black or white and if the words were good and bad. I don't know how this could be a good indicator to find out if you have any bias towards a certain race. I know I messed up a bunch of times but that was mostly due to the fact that I was trying to go as fast as I could and not because I feel a certain way towards black people. Overall, I guess the test was pretty accurate with its results of me but I feel that they could have came to that conclusion after I checked off that I was white.
