Race

There are some discussions about race currently on the PCAWLE email list and the implications of race. I recently read a book called Blink: The Power Of Thinking Without Thinking that questions whether or not we really know our own minds. One of the experiments discussed at length in the book is the Implicit Association Test run by researchers at Harvard. It is a test that clearly points out that regardless of the test taker's background, there are implicit associations that point to subconscious bias. They have IATs associated with Skin Tone, Candidates (Presidential -- not School Board *grins*), Religion, Gender, Sexuality, Disability, Age, etc...
