Race

A lot of us say that we're not racist, but the truth is we all have racial preferences regardless of how concious we are of them.

I'd like to think that my prejudices are mild, but the ones that I do hold are rooted deep in my social upbringing.

While I did grow up in a diverse neighborhood I have still spent the majority of my life in the suburbs where diversity is sparse.

I took the Harvard test and was disappointed to have a preference toward one race over another but the truth is I wasn't surprised.

By the way, Megan's results swung her prejudices in the opposite direction which is interesting. I'd like to find out what makes her preferences opposite.
