I literally maxxed out all of the types of racism geg get on my level nigga
 
I decided to take it just now. Funny thing. 58% "general racism", 73% "socio-historical racism", 81% "perpetual foreigner racism", and 71% "total racism". The test questions seem far too general for any accurate "racism measurement" (if that can even be put on a scale in the first place). It really does depend on who these "non-Whites" are or the context of the situation that it's speaking of, as the test appears to always assume the worst out of whatever action it deems as racist. Some examples:
>It is okay to assume that people mostly have friends that share their own ethnicity.
This is just plainly true, and it doesn't even show prejudice to observe this as a fact. People are more often going to have friends who are of their own ethnic background. The few Indian migrants at my school hang out with the other Indian kids, the few Chinese or East Asian people hang out with the other Orientals, Blacks with Blacks, so on and so forth. I don't know what's wrong with acknowledging that people like people who they can relate to.
>It’s okay to portray minorities in commercials as being bad at English.
Another issue of context. Is the minority someone who would not know English, like a newly-arrived foreigner? It wouldn't be polite to portray some third-generation Californian guy from a Chinese immigrant background who has only ever grown up in an English-speaking environment in this fashion, but a racial minority who naturally hasn't had much of an encounter with the English language previous to whatever situation the commercial is portraying seems to be perfectly acceptable to portray in this fashion.
>It is okay to portray non-White characters in TV shows as speaking poor and/or heavily accented English.
Similar to the previous example, it's dependent on the contextual background of this non-White character.
>It is offensive to ask non-Whites “where they are really from."
If not asked with a covert meaning of ill intentions, as if to attack their ethnic background, but instead just out of curiosity, there shouldn't be any offense here, I don't believe. I've asked some of my colored friends this very thing before (perhaps wording it in a lengthier sort, instead of being so blunt with the inquiry), and they were always glad to talk about it.
