If there's one thing we should all be able to agree on, it's that all human beings belong to the same species, Homo sapiens.
But a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on Monday has found a yawning gap between what people claim to believe and what they actually hold true.
A team from Harvard and Tufts gathered data from more than 60,000 subjects who took part in 13 experiments that tested their implicit biases.
An overwhelming majority—over 90 percent—explicitly stated that white people and non-white people are equally human.
But on an implicit measure, white US participants, as well as white participants from other countries, consistently associated the attribute "human" (as opposed to "animal") with their own group more than other racial groups.
Conversely, Black, Asian and Hispanic participants showed no such bias, equally associating their own group and white people with "human."

“Forget ot, Jake. It’s Harvard. “
Harvard degrees have lost all its former clout.
of course... If whitey was responsible for over 50% of crimes then there would be the same bias from blacks.
no brainer... common sense...
Harvard is full of racists.
Progressives" virtue-signal anti-racism, but they consider blacks and anyone who isn't like them to be inferiors.
The far left progressives are actually lily white. Nearly seven-in-ten Progressive Left (68%) are White adults, making this group less racially and ethnically diverse than the other Democratic-oriented groups.
Yet, these Dems hold not only extremist views on race, but views more extreme than those held by more racially-diverse Dem groups.
They live in enclaves in cities, prefer going to museums over going to the range, and think religion is sophistry. Their policies and language all reek of a Superiority Complex.
I get Affinity bias. We all have it. I'd probably be rejected by an Anarcho-Syndicalist Commune and the feeling would be mutual.
But Erika Donalds' experience is worth remembering. And while I haven't walked in her shoes, I can tell you, when behind closed doors, and if "progressives" think you're "one of them," their mask slips and (using affluent code language) you see how they REALLY feel about the races.
Scratch a progressive, find a Klansman in a suit and tie or lab coat.
IIRC “implicit bias” can be “found” with such test results, but not to be correlated with actual racist behavior.
I am so sick of this sh!t.
What the heck kind of study is this?
FWIW, humans are animals. Specifically the Kingdom of Animalia in the anthropological classification system.
I guess the folks at Harvard don’t know about that yet.
F’ Harvard and the close minded zombies they’re turning out.
and yet, blacks, hispanics, and asians are all extremely racist
Racism against ALL whites is in vogue at Harvard and the rest of the formerly top schools in America. They need a thorough reset badly.
Interesting report, aside from not containing a single reported fact.
I sure don’t see it in the people I associate with.
I catch myself going out of my way to be nice, and truth be
told, I think that is insulting and racist when you get right
down to it.
I call BS on this study.
All you have to do is turn on the TV and watch the speeches of leftist black leaders or even BLM to see the fallacy of that “study”
This coming from a very racist Harvard University...
