Navigating the Racism Impulse: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Have you ever considered to imagine what it could be like to take a racism impulse test? I'm interested in understanding the behavior of people, therefore I decided to give it a try and gained some interesting insights from it. Today, I'm sharing some details about my experience and the significant questions it raised.
1. 1. Nailing Down Implicit Bias
2. 2. How Socializing Shapes Our Views on Race
3. 3. The Influence of Media and Pop Culture
4. 4. Beating Bias with Education
5. 5. The Power of Reflecting and Checking Yourself
One of the most significant aspects of the racism impulse test is its focus on implicit bias. It is fundamentally about recognizing which we are not even aware our opinions on different ethnicities and cultures.
For example, I felt, 'Wow!' when I found out I sort of like lighter complexion—something I hadn't noticed before. It was a big surprise for me. It made me think about my own prejudices and how they might affect my interactions with people.
The test also revealed to me how upbringing and the sort of place we live in can significantly affect our perspectives on race. I spoke with a friend who did the test as well, and we concurred that our background and our rearing significantly influenced our perceptions. Like, if you were raised in a location with diverse populations, you could be more tolerant. However, if you come from a place where everyone has similar appearances, you may have more restricted perspectives.
Media and stuff we see on TV also have a big say in how we see race. I talked to a coworker about it, and we said that how diverse groups are depicted in media can make us think one way or the other about them. There's even research, like from UCLA, that says seeing more diverse stuff in the media can help us reduce preconceived notions.
Education is pretty important when it comes to combating racial and implicit bias. I told a group of students in a workshop that learning about different cultures, histories, and experiences can help us improve understanding of race and diminish personal biases. There's also research from the APA that says diversity training can make a big difference in cutting down unconscious bias at work.
Finally, the exam caused me to contemplate regarding how significant it is vital to contemplate regarding our prejudices and their impact on us. I spoke with a mentor about that, and we concurred that allocating time to think regarding our prejudices and how they might alter our behavior is essential to our personal growth and cultivateing an more welcoming society.
