I am trying to find a serious "are you a racist" quiz to post on the politics board.

While both of the following quizzes made me LOL, I don't think they would be very useful, and seem easy enough to cheat on.

Does anyone know of a better one?

    According to the dictionary, racism =

    A belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

    Hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.
    ***

    So a quiz could simply be:

    1. Do you believe that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement?

    2. Do you believe that your own race is superior and has the right to rule others?

    3. Do you hate another race or other races?

      It's involving the politics board... take a guess
    2. crpitt
      Trying to prove a point?

      strangely in this country, there is a great deal of talk about whether or not politicians (judicial nominees, AM Radio personalities, other bloggers, etc) are racist bigots.

      Its a sad thing

      Ooops I forgot it was a hot topic over there!

    After you all finish these quizes on racism you can get the 'Big Book of Racism'.

    I guess it depends on if you are talking about institutionalized racism or just the average racist, or if you are merely speaking of prejudice. There are a lot of academic sites where you might be able to find something like that.

    I recommend reading Tim Wise at the Red Room, Raciouslicious, and things
    Things White People Do.

    Interesting old post

    According to the web site I'm 9% racist :S :S

    "You are 9% Racist...


    You aren't racist, so congratulations. You know it's wrong to be prejudist against people, and you refrain from most things that might be deemed racist."

    Bad, because I respect everyone

    in the other one "Your Result

    You're as innocent as a little puppy - no racist at all."
  9. anthony9910
    Although I think people can lie, my result is true

    If you find something serious, I'm interested for another reason. I'm doing a book on Latino classical composers and the reactions I'm getting for the book are wildly inappropriate in many cases . . . Fortunately I have a few sane friends keeping me on track to finish.

    There's a research project/racism quiz through Harvard U. online here; implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/
    Whether or not it supplies any results at this time I can't say...

    I'm innocent as a puppy...

    You are 0% Racist...


    You aren't racist, so congratulations. You know it's wrong to be prejudist against people, and you refrain from most things that might be deemed racist.

    On the IAT test it showed I MIGHT have a SLIGHT preference for European over African Americans.

    I just couldn't figure out which button was which. And I kept messing up and getting red x's....

    Wonder if I took it again and again if it would always remain that way.

    (My score was really close to not having ANY preference - which I found interesting also... Since it is believed that I have Creole background in me somewhere... LOL!)

    OOHHHH!!!! I've been banished from the PC crowd.

    You are 85% Racist...  Racist!!! You burn crosses, use racial slurs to define Mexicans, and you probably wear a pointy white hat and walk with your right hand raise. I should slap you.

    The real test is one of institutional racism, most people do not have enough power to be racist. Sure they can hate, but this is at all levels for all reasons. We need to move past all the isms and develop people that can help all people.
    1. crazyTsu
      But your score matters - what is it?!
    2. jeremyjanson
      High enough to hate birds. **Shoots shotgun.**
