My results from the Implicit Bias test were that I had no preference between African Americans and European Americans. I think this is accurate for me because I like people for their personalities and for who they are. Race specifically does not play a factor in who I talk to, and it never will. Who cares what race someone is? If they are a good person then I will like them. It makes me really angry when people try to categorize others because of things like race and religion. I view everyone as equal.

Today we looked at bias and racism in the world to see how it can effect us. These two factors are always there in the world, but I don't agree with them. Then again, I understand that how you are raised plays a large part in bias and what you believe, so every one is different. It was heartbreaking listening to those stories from Face to Face and hearing about how people were treated after instances such as 9/11 and the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The fact that Japanese people were rounded up after Pearl Harbor and put into camps and were questioned about their whereabouts and actions. That angers me because it was such a generalization and assumption about the entire population of Japanese people in America.

I wish people as a whole could understand that every person is different and just because a group of people does something doesn't mean that their entire race is the same. I can't write this in a way to get my opinion across without feeling like I could be offending someone, so I am going to stop.
