Survey: Black or White
Asked by: kc5255 from PHILADELPHIA, PA
If YOU were answering a poll "black or white" what the first thing comes to your mind?
Is the asker being "racist" or just being curious what color you like? The asker doesn't give any reason for his question.

In my opinion, the asker is just being curious what color I like.

For some reason, when these two colors (black or white) are use, people read more into it but they don't read more into other colors. This is just my 2 cents. :-)

I was thinking of Day and Night.

The first thing that comes to my mind is black, just the color.
I Just like the color black more than the color white because night time is dark and sometimes black, and thats when i have the most fun. So the color black to me means fun.

People that think the person asking the question is raciest are raciest themselves, or have trouble relizing that black and white are just colors and...

When I read the question, I thought it meant - 'There are no grey areas concerning the subject - it's either black, or white!' Race didn't even cross my mind! If it was a survey, I would have assumed it meant 'which is your favorite clothing color?' Mine is black! (very slimming).

black is my favorite color, even though my early schoolteachers said it didn't count as a color. When someone asks black or white, I think colors first, then my mind starts to warp around all the perspectives of those I've met or listened to, and I start to see the other possibilities for the question, including race as a #2. and if it was a race question, I dont have a preference, all colors of women are hot, and all colors of guys are cool(but never hot)...

Well, its different for each person. Like say a kid is reading this, colors would probably come to his mind at first glance. It varies from reader to reader. Say a person to who deals with these types of issues on a day to day basis, race may come to his mind first.

But from the given question, those are just two colors and unless further details are given, I would just treat them as that :)...

If someone thinks of racism, he/she has issues. Either he/she is a racist, or is a victim.
