Not if all of them are unfamiliar people, regardless of their color. Then it is simple social anxiety. The test was rigged to get the outcome they were looking for IMO. If they truly wanted to find out if it was racism, they only ran one of MANY tests in the matrix of possibilities to rule out simple social anxiety.
Open your eyes and mind to their blatant manipulation of you.
“People do not necessarily say I do not belong, but I feel as if I do not when I am in a classroom and I am the one non-White person,” said one student, identified as a Latina female, who is quoted in the report.

She explicitly states the reason for her feeling like she doesn't belong is because she is the only non-white person. She must be lying I suppose.

There is a social anxiety and it has to do with people not really knowing much about each other and not knowing what to expect especially if you entered that room with your own previous prejudice or bigotry. When you're a Jet, you're a Jet from your first cigarette to your last dying day....

Perhaps we should all walk around with plain paper bags over our heads. That would change everything from affirmative action to beauty pageants. No one will get ahead or behind based on appearance. No one will be stereotyped or profiled. That should satisfy everyone, well except for the people this would effect. Those people will view it as being unfair. But hey, you can't please everyone.

You don't smile, you're labeled depressed. You don't laugh, people say you're mad. You don't want to be around people sometimes, you're labeled a recluse. You can't win.
In the eyes of TPTB, we're all Leaf fans.

Double standards are the modus operandi. And we encourage them when they lean in our favor, isn't being human grand?
