Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between European American and African American.

You love the latinas.

As for the video, that sucks. Make me want to o home and give thetest to my daughter, with 3 or 4 dolls. I hate things being done in black and white only when there are several lovely colors to choose from.

Does anyone think that maybe this has to do with all the history we learn about in grade school is about America or Europe?

What if exactly 70% of white kids also pick the white doll? What if it's just 70% of children that prefer white dolls?

Not specifically just to this test, but I've been fortunate to have been exposed to a wide range of races and ethnicities all throughout my life. People that have known me well (especially my fiancee) say I have an innocence about me in regards to things like this. So while I am sure I still have my biases, I do consider myself very blessed.

White people are bad and suspicious!

Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for African American compared to European American.

Oh and by the way, what was it 15 out of 21? What's the census numbers for blacks in the US? Maybe the kids just think white is good because there are more white people in the US? Anyone ever think of that?
