The cover of the January/February 2015 issue of Mother Jones magazine stamps in white letters on a black cover: “Are You Racist? Science has the Answer.” Barely visible, printed in large glossy black letters on the matte black paper is an enormous, all-caps “YES.” The cover story includes data from the Race Implicit Association Test on the Project Implicit Demonstration website. (Project Implicit was founded by scientists at the University of Washington, Harvard University and the University of Virginia.) The data showed that whites and East Asians had the strongest pro-white/anti-black biases. These biases were also strongest among those 65 and older, although those 18 to 24 ranked second among the age groups (this strand of bias among college aged people deserves its own study). And politically, these biases were greatest among the moderately conservative and weakest among the strongly liberal.
