So I found something called the "Black-White Implicit Association Test" (IAT) that's supposed to tell you if you're subconsciously racist against blacks. You can take it here. (That link also has IATs for a bunch of other groups, like women, gays, Asians, and Native Americans.)
I thought it might be relevant to the whole political debate over the prevalence of racism (which made it way easier to find a subforum for this thread). The test itself is just an association game, so if you're asked any questions at all (like "Would you choose to live in a black neighborhood?" or "Do we need a strong leader to punish nonconformists?" or whatever), they're not part of the test.
I took it, and it said I had a "strong preference for white people." 80% of other whites and 40% of blacks get the same result.
