Yeah, I admit Troll could have worded his OP a little better. It was pretty white of him. Maybe this will teach him not to go overboard with these type of threads.
PS- I bet there are some black people who don't like hip hop either. Just sayin'

Never said that, though it's definitely something people can improve on.
When I took my first ever IAT in college, it reported that I had an implicit bias towards light-colored skin over dark-colored skin. I wasn't shocked and it didn't make me feel upset or embarrassed, but I took note of it and tried to think about it more often. College and adult life has since immersed me more in other cultures outside of my cozy little white suburban bubble, and now I feel like I'm better about those things. I took an IAT an hour ago and it reported that I show zero bias now, so clearly I've improved the way my mind implicitly thinks about people. Others can do that too.
