But I already knew that.
The University of Chicago’s Stereotyping and Prejudice Research Laboratory has an interesting experiment in which participants are asked to shoot armed targets but not shoot unarmed targets. The men (why no women? now that would be interesting) are either black or white.
How did you do?
I got shot four times. And I shot a white guy once by accident. ;-P

With your results, I’d be scared to take the test.

Forward slash doesn’t work for me – “incorrect button”!

It’s the virgule–the one under the question mark.

I wouldn’t make a good cop at all. I shot the wrong people, and got shot too many times. They only gave my results in reaction time, not numbers of people incorrectly shot:
Your Score: 75
Average reaction time:
Black Armed:673ms
Black Unarmed:761.04ms
White Armed:760.04ms
White Unarmed:723.8ms
It was interesting. I’d like to see the final product and their results.
