My sociology prof. once had us read a study about the effects of race. Some here on DU have suggested that it is not so much race as economic background. However this particular study showed that when two groups of students were given the exact same test save for one question (What is your race), black students did more poorly than white students. This suggested that even being aware of one's race and the stigma associated with that particular race (especially african americans and hispanics as being somehow intellectually inferior) has an effect on the mindset of the student, EVEN if the student claims to not believe such stereotypes.
