The season premier of “Through the wormhole” was on the science channel last night. It was about bias and racism etc.

It was surprisingly fairhanded. It said that conservatives tend to be much more analytical and logical thinkers while liberals are driven by emotion. Also they said that blacks tend to be just as suspicious of other blacks as whites are.

There are some on-line tests of racial bias which claim that a slightly longer delay in arriving at a decision involving racial images is taken as proof of racial bias, rather than the opposite.

The findings that you report provide a completely different interpretation of the data, one which I find more plausible. When confronted with an image, conservatives need time to process the information, rather than just reacting spontaneously.
