SYLVIA; Over the next ten minutes, you’ll be shown a series of images. Each image will be followed by a series of adjectives. If the adjective describes the image, click yes. If not, click no.
WOMAN: Hey, Sylvia. What are you guys up to?
SYLVIA: We’re testing for racial bias. People with unconscious bias find it easier to associate positive adjectives with Caucasian faces. When we shift to an African-American face– the biased firefighters still associate the adjective with the image. It just takes them longer.
WOMAN: Clock the racist.
SYLVIA: Oh, they’re all racist. Yeah, 80% of people who take this test are biased. We’re just looking for the the guy who takes the longest.
FOSTER: Oh, they’re just about done. All right,can we, uh, pull up the average association time for each of them?
LOKER: It’s taking David Caddick three times as long to say nice things about African-Americans. Looks like we have a winner.
