No, it doesn't mean that so it is a weird way to set it out. It looks like it should mean that yellow was neutral - colourblind - & those to the left biased towards darker skinned people and those on the right biased against them but it doesn't. There wasn't a zero score anywhere

It should say "fewer negative thoughts" and "more negative thoughts" not "more positive thoughts" and "more negative thoughts." So the UK is among the least racist countries but does still have racism which is what I thought pink would mean.

However, this is done on the Harvard Implicit Association Test which I understand not to be well-regarded anyway? So we should probably ignore it. And that might explain Serbia? Or not. I don't know. Weird set up.

I think that there is more self-awareness of racism amongst Brits. So you see the UK as being a much more racist place than it actually is.
-
I don't think its very racist but if yellow is thinking equally positively or negatively about black people - ie not being biased for or against - I'd expect the UK to be almost there but that racism does still exist & is against black (and Asian) people.

It's a strange methodology to gauge racism. A country whose population didn't generalise about race at all would come out yellow in this survey.
-
I have just learnt it doesn't mean that.

Implicit Association Tests are not trustworthy. Results often failed to replicate.

Yes, I then looked up the study and how it was done.

What's always been dodgy is that IATs somehow "measure racism". No, they don't, they measure how quick you are to associate certain concepts with skin colors. Racism is a complex bundle of attitudes and behaviors, why anyone thinks it can be measured like this is beyond me.

"Serbians arent racist" is such a spicy hot take that it just burnt down a Bosnian mosque full of children

Have they ever been to Serbia? Racism and ethnic prejudice is like, their national sport. I have a hard time believing those results.

I don't think yellow means the people there are colour blind. Out of the total number of people surveyed in these region the total number of ppl with racist thoughts must have been in the median as compared to the other two extremes.

These results were compiled by project implicit, which uses the IAT test that is pretty much worthless rubbish.http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/12/iat-behavior-problem.html …
