implicit racism

When i took the survey for the harvard demo on the racism(European Americans v. African Americans) demo that we did in class, I got that i had a moderate automatic perference towards African Americans over European Americans. Only about 4% of people who took the test got this score, and I'm pretty sure that I took the test right, I never got any of the questions wrong. I'm so supprised with these results, I never considered myself racist towards black people, but I did expect some preference towards whites since that's what the majority of people get when they take this test. It's just interesting that I have a moderate perference towards blacks, I wouldn't have expected that.
