I answered about 10 questions before I figured out that my actual answers had little or nothing to do with the options given.

For instance:

"At a social gathering of 30-40 people, you enter a room where you appear to be the only member of your ethnic group. You would most likely:"

* Do I know people? If so, I talk to them. If not, I leave because I'm shy.

"A museum will soon open in your neighborhood with displays of culture far removed ethnically and geographically from yours. You would most likely:"

*I like Egyptian history, as well as Chinese and Japanese. Basically it depends on the caliber of artifacts -- Is this someone's small business in the middle of a strip mall selling generic "African" or "Indian" goods? Newp. Is is a full-scale museum exhibit? Awesome. I'll learn more that way.

"3.A close friend calls to tell you her son or daughter is engaged to marry a person of another "race". You would most likely feel"

*A need to reexamine my friendship if this person felt the need to mention the significant other's "race".



By that point I got bored.

I got 134. I think some of the questions on here are designed to have common sense sidelined in favor of being overly PC.

Have you noticed that the test doesn't seem to acknowledge that race even exists?

170 - but found myself wanting to be racist for the amount of times she used quotation marks around "race". It's a proper word, people need to stop being so over-sensitive about these things.

. What a stupid test. Are you sure it's not a joke?

Q5. A museum will soon open in your neighborhood with displays of culture far removed ethnically and geographically from yours. You would most likely.

If you visit it yourself you're more racist than if you "Organize a children's group and take them for a visit."

Q9. You need to process a complicated business transaction at a bank. There are three or four available managers all of different racial backgrounds.

If you go to the one nearest to you (in distance) you're more racist than if you ask the receptionist which one might serve your particular needs (even though it states they're all trained to do the same thing).

You need, as soon as possible, to seek psychological counselling so that your levels of hostility and willingness to shunt your own reponsibility for your own behavior and beliefs onto others can be revealed to you.

2. At a social gathering of 30-40 people, you enter a room where you appear to be the only member of your ethnic group. You would most likely:

Hope that the members of that ethnic group aren't racist.

3. A close friend calls to tell you her son or daughter is engaged to marry a person of another "race". You would most likely feel:

I'm skeptical of all marriage.

15. An Hispanic youngster stopped by the police late at night appeared to make a threatening gesture and was critically shot by the police. No weapon was on him. Your reaction to this is:

Was he wearing a hoody?

19. Your child brings home a "racially" different inner-city friend. You know nothing about members of this group except what you read in the newspapers. You would:

Take away my child's Xbox 360 and store it in a secure location because it might get stolen soon. A lot of break ins around here from kids friends at school.

I answered about 10 questions before I figured out that my actual answers had little or nothing to do with the options given.

I also found this; the questions and answers are completely irrelevant in many cases, for example, if I don't choose to take a whole group of kids to a culture museum, I'm probably slightly racist... it couldn't possible have anything to do with the fact I just don't want to take a load of kids round a museum. Same for the "your child brings home a racially different friend" - I don't even know which answer is meant to be the "least-racist" option here; it's either the one where I tell my child off for bringing strange children home (why would I do that?) or it's the one where I have to conduct some sort of internal investigation into his friend and his friend's parents because they're a different race to me.

there's some questions that i just don't know what race they are presuming who you or they are.

take the school question. They say that the child would educationally be better off in school where they would be a minority. Are you white and the school black? Not likely. It's more likely the other way around.. or perhaps you're white and the school is mostly asian? Speaking purely from reality. I've never known black schools to excel beyond white or asian counterparts.
