Race isn't something you finish.

I would be pleased as punch if you took the time to answer my poll. Please answer the one that fits best, even if it's not completely accurate. Feel free to leave additional comments if you need to qualify an answer, but don't skip one. If you don't want to answer one question, I'd prefer if you skipped the entire poll.

The questions are geared more towards white people, but anyone is welcome to answer. I'd love to compare and contrast, even if I'm no sociologist and this isn't a perfect sample.

I sort of wanted an uneven playing field (hence me adding the adjective "sullen" and having her be reading), because it wasn't so much a test of who a person would gravitate towards unconsciously, but more about the whole "proving a point" aspect of the question. I think it's more of a gauge on measuring presence of "liberal guilt" and also finding out which people aren't even in touch with these types of minor everyday issues.

There's no wrong answer. Unless you're lying. :)

Yeah, but there's no right answer either. I don't generally like middle aged women or sullen looking youth of any variety so I think all in all, I'd go up to the sliding doors and choose another car.

huh.

i tend to vary who i sit with based on how much space they are taking up... and, of course, it would depend if the sullen teenager were cute or not... and, at various times in my life, the male vs. female took precedence over the black vs. white... in my brain, i kind of de-emphasized the "proving a point" part of the question...

I do the same space thing. I'm guessing that's because I'm a big bear of a guy...or something.
