Dateline NBC, Implicit Association Test Results

A 2007 Dateline NBC segment on the Implicit Association Test (IAT) revealed that even civil rights attorneys and black participants often show a subconscious preference for white faces. The test results frequently "flabbergast" participants who consider themselves unbiased. The hosts argue that these results are a product of a "white supremacist" media environment and that the test itself is a "labyrinth" designed to label everyone as racist.
