I was surprised with my results that it said i had no strong automatic preference. All this to say, I know even with that result that i have work to do. I know i did feel stressed that my results would be indicative of having a strong preference towards white people and what that would say about me. Would it make me a bad person? Would it mean i was beyond saving? no. I've seen the phrase "normalize people changing their minds/opinions because they grew and learned" and i think that's true.
The video with the 3rd graders was very powerful and for me, it drove a strong message home That message is how how discrimination affects the person who is on the receiving end if it. I was amazed at how quickly you could visibly see the effects on the brown eyed children. I have been on the receiving end of discrimination and I know how damaging it can be to someone's psychological health.
