Are We Nauturally Racist??
The ovious answer to this question is NO. We have moved on from the days of the Civil War and race riots and everyone is now and equal citizen. But this may not be as straighforward as we think it is. After seeing one of our classmates take and implicit racism test, we see that even in our world, people are inherintely racist without intending to be. We have been socially constructed to believe that WASPs are the most inherintly good and it goes downhill from there, ending in ethinic and darker skinned people. The doll test reaffirmed this implicit racism, showhing that no matter what race you are, you are taught from a very young age that white is good. This is a problem because every reace has good and bad traits. Therefore all races should be respected equally.
