"Racism" study is weak intellectualism

Reaction to racism not as strong as people believe it will be, study suggests (HEADLINE)

TORONTO - Many people probably believe they would react strongly if they heard someone make a racist comment.

But a Canadian-led study suggests real-life responses to acts of prejudice don't always reflect what people think they will do.

Students participated in experiments in which a white male made a racist remark about a black male who had bumped against him while leaving the room.

Those who read about the scenario or watched it on video were asked to predict how someone seeing this happen would feel, and whether they would choose the white male or black male as a lab partner.

The group of observers believed people who heard the slurs would be very upset and more likely to pick the black person over the white person.

But in reality, the racist remarks didn't affect those who heard them first-hand, and they were more likely to select the white person as their lab partner.

The study appears in this week's edition of the journal Science

The paper the above article was written for is circulated around subways in major cities as a free daily...for all it's worth.

My first impression of the study was what would the outcome have been if two blacks were in the room and a white man bumped against him before leaving the room. One black would have said to another while sucking his teeth: "Tssst, yu gonna let dat *****-cracker dis yu lack dat?" Or something to that affect. Most certainly the pseudo-scienctific study would have turned up higher "racism insensitivity" results.

Imagine this piece of lame intellectual "scientific" study was published in a science magasine.

"Racism"/"Racist" are just buzzwords leveraged by the cultural Marxist to induce White guilt & submission to the socialist agenda!

This kind of garbage really infuriates me. What was the point of this "study"?!

Anything to make the White man feel as though he's not bending over backwards enough for minorities.

If the study was well-intentioned, at all, they would have also measured reactions to anti-White racism (which we all know is far more common and far more socially acceptable).

Maybe the people wanted a lab partner that would actually do some work and help them pass!

I was pumping my gas out in the cold and the TV at the pump had a white woman lecturing me about prejudice and tolerance. I can't remember if she used the word race, but I knew what she meant. It's constant manipulation everywhere we go.
