So Blow really freaked me out yesterday. Apparently even though I voted for Obama, watched the Wire, and support affirmative action (in France), I'm probably still a racist!
See there's a study at Harvard that can tell you whether you're a secret racist using next generation super duper science techniques. But fret not, dear reader, not only did I pass, I demonstrated a "slight automatic preference for dark skin over light skin." According to the website only 9% of all white people are in this group, whereas a whopping 76% are racists. I guess those hundreds of hours spent on hotornot were not in vain...
Can I get a certificate for this because I think it would really help my white-liberal street cred. This seems like a far better liberal status-symbol than, a prius or a mod haircut. The idea of walking down Bedford avenue in Williamsburg and shaming 76% of all hipsters is golden.

Ok Mr. Economist, and what about the study itself? Have you not ripped it apart because it's statistically/methodologically valid or just because you're so pleased with your result?

Wait! Gimpei is an economist? I thought he was just a toothless (no doubt after endlessly sucking on Moko's discarded candy), grumpy (perhaps because he has no teeth) old man.

I've always seen you as the best hope for global racial healing! Sing on, brother.
