Maybe subconsciously that's why I moved to a place where it's mostly Mexicans as an adult.

I'm not sure that kids who had good experiences with kids of other races and colors would answer differently on these "tests" though. LIke someone said above, they're not likely to say "I can't tell which one is mean by the color," and so they're going to judge by something, color being the only variable here. Do you think kids like yourself would answer differently on these questions?
