An other Random eieieie How come randomness always seems to work to make me seem bigotted towards minorities and not away?

Yet another completely random one. These tests seem more and more bulls**t with every random test I take. Its seems that randomness dislikes black people even more than I supposedly do.

Tito, those percentages are what everybody who has taken the test has scored, not your own score.
I’m a bit insulted that my observations on the possible bias of the test are being taken as someone trying to excuse their own bias. I would EXPECT to have a bias towards whites even if this test was accurate and unbiased because I am white and because I believe that everybody is racist to some degree, whether they want to be or not. I honestly think that the choice of faces seems a bit unbalanced. I don’t know where they got their pictures from, and maybe it’s just coincedence - they may have asked for volunteers and it just happened that all the white people who showed up were moderately attractive or better while most of the black faces were not. Maybe they were trying too hard to find faces with ‘distinctive black features’, I don’t know, it’s just how the pictures appeared to me.
If I was going to do a test like that, I would try to use attractive professional models for both sides, either that or a larger random sample of the general populace. Or go with ‘2 ugly, 2 average, 2 good-looking’ or SOMETHING a little more balanced than what they used.
