Actually there have been studies and those ethnicity questionnaires tend to affect people's scores negatively. It's hard to tell why this is the case for certain but it probably has to do with racial stereotypes and people's perceptions of their abilities being affected by them identifying with a group that is stereotypically and incorrectly presumed to be less intelligent. It's amazing we live in a country saturated with racism against black Americans and we freely elected one to the highest political position we have
Well I think that we elected Obama because of his ethnicity. He shows other blacks what they are capable of. And that is interesting to know about the effect of those questionnaires.
Do you think BET promotes racism
