Any one of the people above could harbor a serious dislike for whatever race you are studying for a bias against, but they will say "Mark me as a 1", because they know that our society (rightly) looks down on bigotry and negative racial bias

Very few people will admit to being a racist... Im not even sure skinheads will admit their beliefs to be racist...

I'm pretty much an equal opportunity hater... I don't really like too many people... but it's not because of the color of their skin... or their religious beliefs... or cultural differences... it's totally because of who they are... sometimes that cultural thing does come into pllay wiht being who they are but I really don't understand how people can paint one group of people, with sucha broad stroke when all people are different...

When I'm on an internet forum, I have a habit of leaving avatars turned off and will infrequently look at pictures.. I want people's words to speak for them -and not have anything cloud that judgement and of all the forums I've participated in over the years... you end up wtih some interesting perceptions of people...

My title is a reference to a mitch hedberg joke where he talks about racism

When it comes to racism, you hear people say, "I don't care if people are white, black, purple or green." Hold on, now, purple or green? Come on now, you gotta draw the line somewhere.

So i'm just all about hating purple people
 
I'm a 1. I'm from AR so my family would be 6 or 7. I dated two great guys that almost made my family disown me. Actually some did. :D One was from South Korea and the other was from Iran. Two of the greatest guys I have ever known, and any woman would be lucky to have them. Thank goodness my husband shares the same beliefs. He's in the military and has had to spend alot of time in other countries.

This is a very good survey. I agree that some will lie to conform, but this shows that they know that it's not right. You just can't change some people's beliefs.
 
I want to move to a city when I graduate. I need to get on the grad school thing - but to be honest, it is so difficult for me to even think about wanting to go to grad school right now .. I just want to work (but I know that answer will be flip-flopped the day I set foot at my new job haha)... But yes, I will probably end up in grad school in a big city somewhere.

I love Atlanta - so am def. considering that... But i plan to really seek out some places, visit them and decide within the next 6 months or so...

Mal - I haven't gotten the paper back yet, but as soon as I do I'll let you know and see what I can do about letting you read it. Thanks again for all your help!
 
something to keep in mind - most companies that are midsize or bigger have some form of tuition reimbursement policy so it's always good to go to school on someone else's dime :D
 
I feel like I'm doing a lame pickup line -but seriously, females aren't my thing :0

Like, so what's your major?? and when do you graduate..

Now since i"m old enough to be a parent -i'll do the parental inquisition - what field are youlooking to get into when youd o graduate :)
 
Haha Mal you crack me up! My major is sociology and if all goes as planned I will have minors in criminology and social work. Depending on if I attend school in summer 2008, I will graduate in December 2008.
