What I mean is they do these things where they show you diff pics of different people — say, a large frowning Black man and a skinny looking Asian dude — and ask u to select who you feel threatened by, and if u know what the point of the training is, you can clearly game it so you don’t get owned.

I find his math skills intimidating.
I mean, yes, but...that's the point of the training. You aren't trying to "win" the training, you're supposed to be learning about how you see the world.
Almost as if you're making your biases less unconscious.
I don’t know if you’re really learning anything if you’re meta-gaming it. You’re thinking about the test itself, not the content or how it relates to reality.
Sure. But when you have to do one every year the reveal doesn't quite have the impact. And 10 years in?
Yeah, you should be a feminist and an antiracist by the second one, so I don't know why they keep doing them
If they could just change things up a little. Soon this becomes like the teacher training on blood-borne pathogens, something you've heard so many times presented exactly the same way that is loses meaning. *That* defeats the purpose.
Right, it’s a tool for self-knowledge and the point is that the majority of people (of any race) show bias. You come away having learned that unconscious impressions can be biased. Hoping this was a joke? It’s like - gaming the examples in a class about optical illusions??
Spoiler: the tough looking Black man is always a pastor, and the skinny innocent looking Asian kid is a serial killer who eats people. There.
Religious authorties are more threatening than normal, though.
who will cook a better meal, though, answer me that
Bro gon cause riots with that line of questioning
😥
Not sure why you’d broadcast this particular disdain. Is this a bit? Are we owning the libs?
I always get that I'm mildly biased against Asian men and every man I feel safe around is an Asian man and so I do not know how that even works lol (also those tests have super poor validation data).
I'm convinced I just pick the Asian guy because it's familiar which, if familiarity biases the test then it's useless.
I always pick the man. Two men? I pick both. Then, I explain crime/violence statistics. I am not popular.
The testing is for the response time selecting a “good” item. After seeing different ethnic concepts and/or people, that response time changes. Some results indicate implicit brain disjoint track-switching when selecting the “good” thing after seeing a fearful ethnicity instead of the “yay” person.
I thought picking the smug white guy worked. (If no white guy, pick the smug white woman. )
