Your data suggest a slight association of European American with competent and African American with incompetent compared to African American with competent and European American with incompetent.
To my defense, the test initially associated African Americans with incompetent and had me run through a few cycles like that. Then it switched the sides. Had it started with Euro/incompetent on the same side, the results may have beed reversed. Or, maybe I'm just a racist? I don't think so, though. I don't hate anyone just because of the color of the skin (right, Faison?) or the spelling of their name (right, Farooq?) or the size of their nose (right, Larry?). I hate people on an individual basis.
