The first link didn't work for me either, but try the second link Kestra provided, https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/demo/ ,
Then click the "Go to the Demonstration Tests." ,
then "I wish to proceed"
and finally "Race IAT"
You obviously didn't look at my results.
The test indicates that I have a slight preference for African Americans, which is probably just a random statistical bias based on how quickly my fingers were twitching at any given moment. Or maybe I was thinking of my old girlfriend Charlotte. 
Actually, in real life I don't even think about these things, at least not automatically. I've spent most of my life surrounded my all kinds of people, from all over the world, especially during the times I worked at St. Margaret's and Boston Medical Center. Plus which, it's just my way to look at people as individuals rather than try to categorize them somehow.

I didn't. I skim a lot.
Although now I have, I'm curious as to how you think...
...qualifies as "the most racist so far"?
Not so much. It doesn't come off as any more "racist" than anyone elses results. Care to enlighten me?
It is still the most racist result though. All of the results are bollocks since it's just an internet test, but Deckerd is the only person to come up with a result of a strong automatic preference one way or the other.
^ Well my result did show a strong automatic preference for white people over black people. In America that certainly is treated as a lot more racist than the other way around.

Which is the point I was trying to make by slanting my answers. Why is 'racism' only one-way?

That is, in itself, racist.
Sorry, no I didn't mean you were racist.
I meant that the fact that people only think of racism being by whites against blacks is racist - since that assumes white people being in the superior position.
Which I think was the point you were making too.
Sorry for the confusion
I do think it's funny that the test was clearly aimed at white and black Americans and completely ignored all other types of people.
Based on what I've read, that whole test is racist because it doesn't include Asians or Hispanics. 
Yes, I demand that they add Asians and Hispanics. And they should replace all the images with pictures of scantily-clad ladies. Then they should remove all images of the White, Black and Hispanic ladies.Based on what I've read, that whole test is racist because it doesn't include Asians or Hispanics.
Oh wait, I already have a bookmark for a site like that.
This test is clearly flawed. I think that Omar Little is cooler than all the white people in the world combined.
