I took the Black/White Weapon/Harmless object test and it said that I slightly associate white people with weapons more than black people. In fact, I think the results merely mean that I got better hitting the right buttons as the test went on. And, as fearandloathing mentioned, the word association was easier with the White/Weapon combo.
