    100 people are in a room. 99 are white. 1 is a minority. They are all there to interview for a job. The interviewer is in a different room, and no one knows their color.

    I did not enter this as a poll, for the purposes of expanded selection of more than one. Please select one (1) or up to maximum of two (2) selections. Obviously, if you do not desire your racial identity known on line, don’t make numbered selections, but feel free to be racially anonymous and still contribute, without specific number(s) selections.

    1) I am white. I do not notice the 99/1 color ratio. AA doesn’t even enter my mind.

    2) I am white. I notice there is one minority. AA doesn’t even enter my mind.

    3) I am white. I notice there is one minority. I am nervous about the AA initiative.

    4) I am white. I notice there is one minority. I am angry about the AA initiative.

    5) I am white. I notice the 99/1 ratio, but don’t care if I don’t get the job. It is social justice.

    6) I am a minority. I do not notice the 1/99 color ratio. AA doesn’t even enter my mind.

    7) I am a minority. I notice I am the only minority. AA doesn’t even enter my mind.

    8 ) I am a minority. I notice I am the only minority. I am angry AA will devalue my selection.

    9) I am a minority. I notice I am the only minority. I am glad AA initiative will give me an edge.

    10) I am a minority. I notice the 1/99, but don’t care if I get the job via AA. It is social justice..

    11) My family and friends think very similar to me.

    Well ... just wanted to make sure there's an adequate baseline for your study.

    We wouldn't want to compare apples and oranges simply base on a fruit identifier.
