Every time you try to prove a point you set the odds with small details gestures or how you deliver the questions.

In the gun range that tests bias (not reaction time) you place the white individual in neutral and non threatening colors and his jump out was typically slower and less aggressive. The black individual was jumping out aggressively in comparison and wearing dark threatening colors with a dark red shirt and black pants. Typically colors associated with gangs and when you throw in the theatrics a non trained person trying to prove how fast their reaction time is they of course are going to process the easiest perceptions first. So when you make one look like a stereotypical gang member and one look like a slow moving high school student your going to get weighted results. I noticed quickly that this show seems to steer all their experiments in similar manners to prove the point of their own opinions. You can make experiments that have swayed results very easily based on small detail changes. I'm not saying the in this experiment referenced above doesn't have some social bias against the black individual but you clearly were trying exacerbate the results. Which voids you're results in this experiment.
