Not Only Are Racists Stupid But Racism Makes You Stupid


"When you have to control your behavior, it takes a lot of energy. And if you expend energy in a social interaction, then you don't have so much left over to do something else," researcher Nicole Shelton says in a news release explaining the results of a study where racist students did worse on mental tests after having to talk to a black person.

I wonder if that is a strategy for blacks, go up and talk to a racist and mess him up all day?
