Hey, Cacawate ! Your avatar and your saying matches perfectly !
Yours is the bestest anit-racist statement on this thread !
Hahahaha...
General Note: I think the test was written by a person who has read the questions commonly asked in a test of Anti-Semitism. I'd say a full-blooded racist can pass as a tolerant to anti-racist by the standards of this test.

H: How do you know ? You're not fish.
Z: How do you know I don't ? You're not me.
H: True I am not you, and I cannot know. Likewise, I know you're not, therefore I know you don't.
Z: You asked me how I knew implying you knew I knew. In fact I saw some fish, strolling down by the Hao River, all jolly and gay.

Well, Mal darling I personally don't consider myself an African American I wouldn't think it was an insult. It's more of a politically correct term than the "N" word. If you know what I mean.

I actually managed a ...1% racist ...(really!) but they still said that I looked at one or two things in a racial sense !
.... Of course had the test been biased Anglo/Scots/Irish/Welsh ..... I could have scored differently !
Then a few crosses might have been burning on a few lawns !

didnt need to take it to tell me im anti-racist...but whatever
I guess I'm 9% racist. I think because I think things like affirmative action are racist because it's treating people of different races differently. If we're all equal, we should be treated the same way right?

I totally agree with you on the vicissitudes of Affirmative Action, and I might add a point from the viewpoint of African Americans. I have seen plenty of bright, hard working AA students fail due to lack of follow-up support; but also due to the hypocricy that admission to a prestigious school/job makes up for the centuries of exploitation-discrimination against "colored" people for example.
The great hypocricy works like this: give them accesss, perhaps beyond their means, and let them fail miserably for lack of 1) aptitude 2) social network 3) adequate, continuing support. Either revamp te whole AA plan, or scrap it and admit the US is racist from deep down below. I won't even go into how some whites abused the system by declaring their heritage as colored when in all practicality they were white.
The sins (forgive my strong wording; cannot find a better word, and, as the US is in the majority Christian) of white supremacy of the past is not going to leave unless GENUINE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION is taken, not the lying Affirmative Action that only looks good on paper. Active rehabilitation of the descenents of the colored people of the unindentured servitude of US's past is not an option, but one requirement without which the future of US is at stake in my 3rd party opinion. I also believe it needs to be done with respect and dignity, not without. I apologise for deviating from your point, Brooker, but please take it as supplmenting yours. It's just that I've been thinking about this for a long time, and there seems to be no way out.
I yook the link to do the test, but my browser crashed.
When it comes to things like education, I don't think there's any genetic difference between races, but I do think there are cultural differences - things that you pick up from your parents, expectations and values. I think people from different cultures tend to value education differently.
For example, the high school I went to was mainly made up of three thirds, Whites, Asians, and African Americans. I observed that the parents of the Whites and Asians strongly encouraged their children to excel in things like Math, English, and the Arts. The African American students were encouraged to excel in things like sports with less of an emphasis on excelling in academics. Not only was academics not encouraged in the African Americans, but the African American students who were good at those subjects kind of tried to hide it from their friends and peers for fear of being ostracized by the group. That's not really an atmosphere that encourages learning.
So I think these educational difficulties don't always come from external sources, but often times from within the group itself.
The test was way too general... the options were too limited and not very specific.
To be honest the test seemed kind of racist. Suggesting that there are general catagories of people that can be described as "white" or "black." Anyway, I got a 23%.
57. Intolerant
Awsome.Tolerant
You scored 23!
You are generally NOT race-minded, there may be a thing or two that you see as a race issue, but mostly, you are a very tolerant person!
My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 99% on racistpoints
Its quite simple that apart from the very specific yet insugnificant hollow genetic coding for skin colour, were all the same bag of deoxyribonucleaic acid.
DNA for short.
I find most "Racial" differences are infact quite comfortably actually under "Cultural" differences, a white man born into a asian country will have more in common with that country then the west.
Same for Blacks, I find it hard to emagine they would entirely fit in in the heart of Africa.
Though its interesting to note people tend to be statistically drawn to their own skin colour, but, then again, this is because society has been telling them for hundreds of years they are different and so they feel drawn and accepted into that racial group, but, as with the white teenagers across the world getting "Gansta!" along with the black originators, they relate to each other more inside this "ghetto rap and hip hop" type of subculture more then whites or blacks outside it.
Humans just have a tendency, maybe even a need, to have an "us" and a "them".
You've answered 20 of 20, by the way
Totally Optional:
thats cool huh?
Hm. I'm racist. No **** sherlock. I'm a white girl who grew up in the ghetto. I don't like my own people that much. And while I hate to say it, I haven't met a young Spanish person who's personality changes my views on their youth I gathered from boarding school.
Don't lynch me please.

Anti-racist
You scored ###!
Congratulations, you are a very tolerant and muticultered person! No one could ever accuse you of being a racist!
At 16% I'm an anti-racist whose more racist than 6% of my peers!
A fun test but can't really be very accurate..
Just some thoughts on the questions:
Why should schools care about how minorities in general do in tests? It is up to the people themselves how much they study and the study help counselors are open for everyone!
I have about as much thoughts about Mexican immigrants in the US as an average American might have about boat refugees in Finland..
Didn't have a clue what NAACP was, looked it up and thought that there should not be a need for something like that to exist..
Jesse who?
None of the black people I know seems to be into rap. I know many people who enjoy rap music and even a couple of people who make it themselves but all of them are white!
