Is there any implicate order to the difference/specialization in human "races"?

For example: Is there any truth at all to the stereotype that those of African decent are genetically predisposed to being more physically adept do to a harsh and physically demanding environment?
Does appreciating these potential differences and specializations make me a racist?
I think you have entirely missed the point of the word "implicit".
Probably. I'm trying to look beyond personal bias to the accumulative implicate and explicit order of objective reality over time.

I can't have implicit bias. I have black friends!

Your data suggest a strong automatic preference for Light Skinned People over Dark Skinned People.
Not that I necessarily disagree (I've long been aware of these subtle biases as human beings), but the order effect might have played a role as well. Apparently, the order of pairings is random, though. So at least, for the overall sample, the results will be ensured validity.

Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between Arab Muslims and Other People.

Of course they exist.
Questioning my own assumptions is a regular drill for me.

Are all of the tests different, or all they all based on the same e/i prompting association game?
