The Goodes and Eddies of unconscious racism

By Michel Poelman - posted Monday, 3 June 2013


We can only improve on our weaknesses if we have the courage to look for them and if we have the motivation and endurance to change.

There is a test called The Implicit Association Test (IAT) that measures bias on different subjects such as race, gender, sexual orientation and other. You can take this test yourself at implicit.harvard.edu.

Maybe you and I are not so different from a 13 year old girl and Eddy McGuire.

Thanks Mr Goodes for showing us that although we think of ourselves as civilised, we still have our work cut out for us.
