After taking the race-test my results were quite surprising for me. I was shown in preference to the white people when I do not have any preference at all. I personally believe that race and all are not justified to judge a human. People are different and as long as they are good we have no right to judge anyone. I have friend who are from black community and they are super talented people, more than a white student. So I have always seen people through their nature and talents and not their race. However, my results show completely opposite and the explanation it gave that in our unconscious mind we do have preferences.
