"Very slight preference for European Americans".

This seems really silly, from a scientific point of view :P. Basically, you get rocking on GoodOrEuropeanAmerican going left, BadOrAfricanAmerican going right, then they switch it, so maybe twice you fudge it (if you take it seriously and try to go extremely fast, as I did).

It seems like a damn setup doesn't it? It's extremely easy to correlate good with left, bad with right, but race-wise it takes a moment to remember which they assigned, so that once they switch it, it really mucks you up.

I'd like to see if the results would be different, if they correlated European Americans with bad first, or switched races for shapes. Maybe then I would be "very slightly" bigoted against octagons... hehe.

edit: maybe the idea is just that? Getting strong preference for either might mean you have a real problem and don't know it, or do know it, but are trying to compensate, lol. That seems more plausible...
