i think everyone is biased towards people who share similar physical traits and attributes... i dont believe it is necessarily indicative of the presence of racism (depending on how you define racism i guess), but rather simple biology. like people always gravitate towards like people, whether that similarity is race, religion, intelligence, personal interests, economic parity and so on.

i would argue that "Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for White relative to Black" is completely normal and should be expected, just as a Jewish person would have an automatic preference for Jews over Muslims or biker would have an automatic preferrence for bikers over accountants.
