Employers will be encouraged to find out how bigoted they are using a new internet test developed by the Government.
I can't fucking see anything going wrong here, can you?
In the race test, users are shown photographs of black people and white ones, interspersed with words such as “evil” and “joy”, and have to put them into one of two categories.
If they wrongly link the black faces with the negative words, the test concludes that they have an “automatic preference” for white people.
And what happens if they're black?
Jesus fucking Christ, people really are going out of their way to find something to get offended about. Just watch -- re-education for people failing the test will become mandatory next!

So, presumably, if a white person puts "evil" next to a black face then they're racist but if they put it next to a white face similar to their own then they're not.
Now if a black person puts "evil" next to a white face are they racist for choosing a colour opposite to their own or OK because, as in the first example, its ok to put "evil" next to white faces?
I'm sure that, if you thought about it JohnR, you'd realise that only white people can be racist.
non-whites can only be seen as reacting to past racism by whites - it isn't there fault, and isn't the same thing.
As an employer in London I can testify that by and large we do not discriminate against people with African names because we are racist. We discriminate against people with African names because we have leant from experience that the fuckers when interviewed won’t be able to string a sentence together, and even if you hire one of the ones that can they probably won’t bother turning up for work after a couple of days.
Ernst & Young are advising on this - the Arthur Andersen (remember them? Enron etc. and professional advisors to Zanu Lab, shredders r us)des nos jours.
Have had dealings with that shower. Wouldn't touch them with somebody else's bargepole. F**k knows how much of our money is going into this.
Keep up the good work Obo.
I've taken that test, it's online somewhere. I have a mild automatic preference for white faces, although only about 7 or 8% of people have no automatic preference, so I'm relatively unracist.
I remember reading a liberal columnist being shocked to discover that they had a strong preference for white faces, but I reckon thos who are obseessed with racism probably are going to have more extreme reactions.
Spekaing with a "right-on" leftie lovie recently, when I told her I hated everybody, I was racist. Despite arguing that I hated "EVERYBODY" regardless of colour, sex creed, age, species, etc, I was still racist. Apparantly, its racist to hate everybody, as black people are a subset of "everybody", so by default I am directly hating them.
