Are You Subconsciously Racist?

I take it we've all seen the movie Crash, no? The scene where Sandra Bullock holds onto her husband when she sees two african american youngsters walking towards her was emphasized a lot, and stirred up a bit of controversy. It does make you think doesn't it?
If any of you have read the book Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, you don't have to read the next paragraph. It was literally one of my most favorite books. It basically talks about what happens in the blink of an eye or something similar to that. He starts by explaining that the unconscious mind is in an infinite and continuous state of judging. Talking about his experiences with long hair and how cops used to pull him over and interrogate him, believing that he was a rapist because he fit the physical profile. In the book he emphasizes on racism and how we are all on one level or another racists. To prove this theory of his, he took the IAT (Implicit Association Test) which is a test that makes connections between pairs of ideas.
The surprise was that more than 80% of all those who have ever taken the test end up having pro-white associations! Which means that it takes them longer to associated good words with the word 'black'. The test goes to prove that our unconscious attitudes may be utterly incompatible with our conscious values. Does it sound far-fetched? Try it for yourselves. (I sure did)
