The "Affective Lexical Priming Score" and other implicit bias tests are examined for their scientific validity. A past NBC News segment is referenced where even "experts" in racial issues and civil rights leaders showed a "preference for white" according to the automated tests. The hosts argue that these tests are "parlor trickery" used to label all participants as racist regardless of their actual beliefs or backgrounds.

### PBS NewsHour, Implicit Bias and Millennial Racism

A PBS NewsHour report by Hari Sreenivasan explored implicit bias and racism among millennials using associative tests and shooting simulations. The report claimed that despite millennials' self-perception as non-racist, many showed a statistical preference for white faces and were faster to "shoot" armed black figures in simulations. Critics argue the tests are flawed and that the 51% statistical norm cited does not represent a significant societal divide.

An Associated Press poll claims that anti-black prejudice has increased since 2008, affecting 51% of Americans. The hosts debunk the poll's methodology, which used "implicit" testing involving Chinese characters and flashed photos to measure subconscious feelings. They argue the online survey by GFK Custom Research is "bogus" and designed to generate headlines.
