Heart Drug Makes People Less Racist

This is a rather interesting story concerning Oxford University researchers, who state that after giving 18 people propanolol, they became less racist.

Of course, like any study, it isn't as simple as that. It relates back to the subconscious racial bias, less noticeable than any concious racial bias. However, the grading system (Implicit Attitude Test) found that other given a placebo effect showed no such affect.

Researchers note that it cuts the racial bias because it blocks the non-conscious fear responses on which racism is based.
