response to racial test



The test on how racist you are I feel isn’t very accurate. Judging on how fast you click a button doesn’t determine how you view people.  I got a moderate preference towards white people. I’m not really sure that’s true I wouldn’t say I have a preference towards any race, and I wouldn’t treat any of them differently just because they’re not the same race as I am.

       The stories that I listened to on face to face were interesting to say the least. Its eye opening to hear their stories that people have faced or how they’re scared to live in American because they’re not sure how much longer the racial tolerance will hold up.  It makes me sad to hear that people actually think this way and feel like this in their own home.

       The story that probably stood out to me most was the one where the one where the Middle Eastern man poke about riding on an airplane. The last line he said was very powerful, he talked about if the plan was hijacked then he’s just like everyone else, and he’s going to die just like everyone else. Yet people are still afraid to sit by him because of his skin color.
