How easily white Europeans associate black faces with negative ideas

  1. The Balkans have been known to have strong tolerance towards Africans and blacks over the course of the past century and have marked that with previous positions. Eastern Europe still has a way to go, largely driven by false Western media narratives about black people which is ingrained in their psyche, not driven from experience. I know a lot of people who have never met a black person in their life yet their negative comments about them seems to be derived from what’s fed to them by the media. There’s still work to do to remove these negative associations. We shouldn’t be judging people by the colour of their skin, that in itself is primitive.

  2. I don’t get those figures and colors. What scale this is? Norway is blue-ish with 0,349. Finland is red-ish with 0,379.

    So difference by 0,03 in that scale is a lot? What does that 0,03 difference mean in real life?

  3. Implicit bias (like prefers like) is real but the way it’s tested doesn’t do any justice to what it’s trying to prove. So these scores are pretty much worthless.

  4. I took an implicit bias test in college and it was pretty easy to get the results you wanted. If you’re a progressive-minded person and really don’t want the test to show that you’re biased against black people, you’re going to take an extra split second to make sure you don’t record any of the negative associations with black faces. That’s what it’s really measuring.

  5. As the Ukrainian i can say that it is just very uncommon to see black people bere, especially in small cities, but that’s all, we are not hate them at all, but there are might be some jokes about it 😅
