Magazine Digest

A college class was asked to give its reactions to a group of words. Did each name, in turn, suggest something pleasant, unpleasant, or indifferent? Did it rouse a feeling of fear, hatred, or distrust?
This is the list as submitted: Scotchman, Nazi, Swede, Pole, Methodist, Negro, Walloonian, New Dealer, Jew, Italian, Presbyterian, Ku Klux Klan, Catholic, CIO, Frenchman, Pirenian, Moslem, Protestant, Russian.
Many names were checked on the unfavorable side. Prominent on the list of unfavorables were Walloonians and Pirenians.
Strangely enough there are no peoples called Walloonians or Pirenians. They were inventions of the professor.
