Results of Sorting People Quiz

When I first saw the people I would have to match I thought to myself, "Ok yea this won't be too bad." So I started off with my the people I knew for sure...which happened to be the Asians, Caucasians, and American Indian. After I finished my quiz I saw that I only got four right. Two of the four were Asians, one of the four was Black, and finally the last one of the four was a Hispanic/Latino. I was looking at all of them over and I wouldn't of known where to put them again. It's really weird because you have to guess what someones race is and you would think it is one way and you turn out to be wrong. The conclusion that is at the end of the quiz does state a lot of truth. The idea of being able to base someones background on their looks is very difficult. I tried to guess all the people's background and I got all of them wrong except four. The new lesson learned: Don't judge someones background because you are most likely wrong and you don't want that person taking offense in your guess.

  1. Thanks for your reflective answer -- you went beyond your first reaction to think about the implications of it. Thinking about your own thinking -- amazing.
