Are You a Racial Profiler?
You may be a racial profiler and not even know it. According to MixYourWorlds.com, on social networking sites, many people never step outside of the security of the same types of races of people they're used to in real life. I don't know if that's true, but that's what this social networking site is based on.

Based on who you add to your friends list they will tell you how diverse, or undiverse (if that's a word) your profile really is. Learn about and explore other cultures, besides your own local groups, by joining MixYourWorlds.com. MixYourWorlds.com wants to tell you how racially biased you are based on your friends.

I don't know if a friends list is a good judge of if you are racially biased or not. I usually put people I know in real life in my top friends and will add almost anyone to my friends list. I don't think I'd be judged racially biased if someone looked at my MySpace friends at all. I just don't see how it's relevant though.
