Do people rate answers/questions based on race too?

I give 10 points to the answer that I feel best answers my question or questions....period

I rate based on the answer...most times, you can't determine race based on an answer, a user or an avatar.

Except for the most popular here we are all incognito, who is asking what, who, where and when? Why? An avatar can give the wrong impression of who the person really is, a question could be wrong, but when you need to ask, and receive sincere answers doesn't it feel nice, when you answer doesn't it feel nice? My biggest thing is there are all kinds of categories for people to ask their questions, but when q's end up on yahoo answers for ridicule instead of the category where they can get answers they need.

I don't. You can't assume that a person is a male or female by an avatar. So, you can't assume the race either. I am not a prejudice person either. I was raised to believe all people were equals.

No, I hardly ever look at the name or photo of the person asking the question. I do not see why it would be important to know there sex or race.

i judge by the substance of the answer.

sometimes if the answers given are too good then i'd have to base on the avatar. whichever looks funny and unique.

it has nothing to do with color and race.

yeah. I get pretty bad ratings as a woman. I also like to say whatever comes to mind. Do you think changing your avtar will help? Nope, People are basically sheep. Be yourself and worry less about rating. Its a computer based "ism" Oh, Are you are a star belly skeech?

I cannot vouch for others, but I never pay attention to someones race when rating questions. People matter...race, religion,creed, sexual orientation...doesn't matter.

This is assuming that you have a correct icon, but it seems like a lot of extra work to go through

Doubtful, how would they know my race (unless my perspective implies something).
