Those are perfectly natural human instincts which are shared by Asians and even other Blacks (Jesse Jackson noted being relieved when he noticed someone following him was white).

Every group has in-group/out group biases, but whites tend to be more ashamed of this & see it as morally wrong. Most other groups are more ethnocentric, you see this with various race based groups or societies. Also in terms of immigration policies, for instance Japan & Singapore have quite clear policies to preserve a homogenous population.

The 2 groups may be of the same race but their culture is completely different and to associate the 2 groups makes about as much sense as lumping Chinese in with Eskimos.

Most of the Aboriginals in Australia cities do not have traditional indigenous names – they have regular English or (in particular) Irish names.

The aboriginals who had little contact with white settlers and therefore retained their own names are not the aboriginals who are currently in your local train station causing trouble. They are still in places like Arnhem land and the Kimberly where they have always lived.

The average australian would have very little contact with anyone named Yunipingu or anything similar unless they live in the Northern Territory or far-north Queensland or WA.

Who here seriously thinks they can’t predict the winner of the next Olympics 100m sprint?

Generally speaking, people from asia do study hard. And generally speaking, the average person from asia looks more asian than the average person from australia. I’m not saying this because I hate/love asians or because I think they are better/worse than me.

If, as you say, young black males are ‘massively over-represented’ in the prison system, then why is computing a ‘risk assessment’ of young black males a matter of prejudice? are you not simply acting logically?

Even so, I got ‘liitle or no bias’ which is rubbish. I can tell you here and now if I am walking down a street and see a gang of aboriginal young men on one side and a gang of anglos on the other, I will walk on the Anglo side. Yet this test classes me as totally blind to such racist, evil, and possibly UN-Convention breaking thought crimes!

If I were told those names were Scottish people or Swedish, I doubt the results would have been any different. And one wonders how many people from full-blood aboriginal communities or those where they actually have names like those on the IAT – rather than Smith, O’Donohue, and Jones – were tested for Thought Crimes Against Whitey!?

Set up a similar test for Leftists but instead of aboriginal names use Cohen, Schwartz, Dershowitz, etc. Heh.

The question about the Lebanese was perhaps not specific enough – many people would probably distinguish between Lebanese Christians and Lebanese Muslims. (Highlighting that in these issues race itself often isn’t that important; it is race as a proxy for culture.)
