Study Ties Political Leanings to Hidden Biases

WOW, THAT'S SHOCKING. YOU MEAN, WE HAVE BIASES THAT CONTROL THE WAY WE THINK? THAT'S OUTSTANDING.

Though it kind of brings up an old joke in my mind, say starting with, how many Berkley scientists does it take to . . . . . .(state the obvious)

Without going into too much detail about this preposterous story, however, does anyone want to take a look and maybe point out just one fo its ridiculous aspects.

What, you mean the headline should really read "George W. Bush Supporters Hate Black People"? Ha ha ha ha (hat tip to Kanye). This was just a preliminary exploration, but the results aren't very surprising. Bias testing is interesting stuff though -- really worth exploring, if only to identify the ways our own subtle biases might make the world worse. Of course, I know you cling to your biases, so I'm sorry to offend.
