Psychology Quiz at U. Texas-Austin Suggests Wealthy White Men More Likely to Violate Rights of Others
“which sociodemographic group is most likely to repeatedly violate the rights of others in a pattern of behavior that includes violence, deceit, irresponsibility, and a lack of remorse?”
No one would dare do this with any other group in society.

UT Austin psychology quiz: ‘Wealthy white men’ most likely to ‘repeatedly violate rights of others’
A University of Texas at Austin professor has rescinded a quiz that included a question that argued wealthy white men are mostly to blame for repeatedly violating the rights of others, reported the Washington Free Beacon, which obtained a screenshot of the quiz question.
Psychology Professor Kirsten Bradbury gave the quiz as part of her “Personality Psychology” class, and the controversial question dealt with Antisocial Personality Disorder, the Beacon reported.
“Neither race nor gender is determinative in Antisocial Personality Disorder,” the question asked. “However, if we must go there, which sociodemographic group is most likely to repeatedly violate the rights of others in a pattern of behavior that includes violence, deceit, irresponsibility, and a lack of remorse?”
The quiz question added an addendum stating “Hint: They also happen to hold the most social power and because of that they can get away with the most wrongdoing.”
Four choices were offered as possible answers, including middle class Latino families, female dentists and Asian men of all economic groups. But the correct answer was: wealthy white men.
“After distributing the quiz to students, Bradbury, who has been celebrated as one of the university’s most outstanding teachers, then backtracked, telling students that ‘given the current rate of sociocultural and scientific change’ the quiz had ‘grown too stale to use.’ She did not indicate what scientific changes had rendered the quiz obsolete or what scientific research had at one point served as the basis for the question,” the Beacon reported.

This is on the American Psychological Association homepage:
“ Racism is a form of prejudice that assumes that the members of racial categories have distinctive characteristics and that these differences result in some racial groups being inferior to others. Racism generally includes negative emotional reactions to members of the group, acceptance of negative stereotypes, and racial discrimination against individuals; in some cases it leads to violence.”
Uh, professor? Heal thyself or join David Dukes University.
Without knowing the lecture notes on which this question was framed, it seems to be designed to drill in a particular view point. But if one wanted to address this question scientifically, perhaps one could consider x-on-y crime statistics. The answers might be surprising, counter to the prevailing popular opinion, and worthy of deeper investigation. Just saying.
Wealthy white Progressive Liberal men? Why of course they are!
Female dentists my ass.
Had he included “da joos” as one answer, the resulting melee would have been popcorn-worthy, and the question would have been no more offensive than it already was.
The proper answer was, of course, “psychopaths.”
Oh sorry — “she.”
Is it too late to add: e) Crazy White Chicks?
But if the answer had been da Zionists, everyone would have defended her bravery and recycled every anti-Jew trope of the last 2000 years.
Let’s take look at the BLM riots, the thuggish actions by athletes at all levels, the repeated gang-related and drive-by shootings in Chicago, as well as “The Wilding” this past weekend also in Chicago, ask how many “wealthy, white men” were involved in those, and then ask about the group “most likely to violate the rights of others in a pattern of behavior that includes violence, deceit, irresponsibility, and a lack of remorse?”
Which group is most likely to be identified there?
Most likely there were wealthy white men who called the police, which everyone knows is a violent act of racism.
No one seems to have noticed that the BLM riots had an astounding amount of interracial rioters. It was right out of The Warriors.
Which sociodemographic group is most likely to repeatedly violate the rights of others in a pattern of behavior that includes violence, deceit, irresponsibility, and a lack of remorse?
Elected officials.
So, that’s the result of a blatant push-poll in Austin.
This is my shocked face.
