My result are notably different and have a much lower number (roughly a factor of 10).

It sounds like you are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy for the behavior of others.

One thing I've found is that if you have valid reason for not liking someone (i.e. Eddie Murphy because he sold out and isn't funny any more), the vast majority don't care. If you don't offer a valid reason, you leave it to the imagination of the listener, and with the history of racism in America, it's not hard to understand why many African Americans imagine the worst.
