- - - - - How's This For Racial Profiling? - - - - -
A study of a technique to discover people with "racist" tendencies. See it HERE.
In those with racist tendencies, a surge of activity was seen in part of the brain that controls thoughts and behaviour. Scientists believe this reflected volunteers' attempts to to curb their latent racism.
HoooWhee! I can just see the politically correct SFBs lining up for this one.
"Why, Mr. Smith, have you taken, and passed, your "racist tendencies" test? You haven't? Sorry, but you can't have the job that you are otherwise completely qualified for."
I can see it coming. We now know that lie detector tests aren't all that reliable. That's why lie detector tests aren't admissable in court as evidence of anything. But they can be used to deny employment. They can be used to deny security clearances. And the next big thing on the horizon will be this damned "racist tendencies" test.
Crap.
Sounds: None
Attitude: Aggravated
