According to a recent study, babies tend to play with others that look more like them.

See? The government needs to take over the education of your kid from birth. So s/he doesn't grow up to be racist.

The proper word is preference not bias.

Very Natural early in life, for survival.

Our Ancestors should not play with Baby Bear Cubs, they don’t look like 2 year olds.

Over time, ages 5 and 6, Social integration occurs without issues, and without any special efforts. Children judge other children by their Characteristics.

What I wonder too, is how they get funding to do studies such as this?

How are these “researchers” getting a paycheck? I assume that this is part of what they do for a living.

Who green lights these studies? Who the heck approves of funding and employee time, to study whether babies are racist? Somebody somewhere, should be accountable for the money spent on this.

We need someone other than liberals, to be in charge of deciding what research gets funded, in my opinion.

It is high time for America to get over its preoccupation with race.

America is a fully integrated society.

We need to END racial laws. And laws about all sorts of discrimination.

America needs to rebuild. America needs to get out of the way of Americans, and stop meddling.

Now.

Somehow I don’t think these researchers are going to spend alot of time looking for a racist gene.

In agree. It takes really sick minds to try and label little babies as racist.

Damn lefties never mind their own business and leave people alone. If lefties aren’t killing infants, they want to label the live ones racists.

They see nothing wrong, of course, with sanctifying Margaret Sanger, a real racist, who wanted black babies aborted because she considered them inferior. The left likes to keep just enough black babies alive to vote for them.

Put a large group of horses into a pasture, they will split up according to colour. Even horses are racist.

Yep, just the white babies.

The purpose of this study is to validate that white people are inherently racists, and therefore need to be subjected to government control.

All babies show it, and it IS preference, not bias. Good grief

You mean it’s instinct for people to want to be with their own kind? Say it isn’t so.

Despite all the efforts by the Left to create Homo Sovieticus, it will never happen.

Yup. And hornets don’t like bees, so they are racist. Seriesly, if the baby is racist, it has to be in the genes, and thus, the parents are racist. And on, and on, and on...but only in crackers.

What is "whitewashed" in this presentation is that the bias is built in in all directions.

With the usual journalistic ambiguity, the term racism is always inferred to be whites against minorities.
