In 2006 Birgitte Vittrup recruited from the database about a hundred families, all of whom were Caucasian with a child 5 to 7 years old. It was no surprise that in a liberal city like Austin, every parent was a welcoming multiculturalist, embracing diversity.

Asked how many white people are mean, these children commonly answered, "Almost none." Asked how many blacks are mean, many answered, "Some," or "A lot." Even kids who attended diverse schools answered the questions this way.

More disturbing, Vittrup also asked

I've got a great idea! Let's just leave people alone! For my "study", we turn off the tv and just let people live their lives. I know-- it's pretty radical. I think my study should last at least 200 years.

I agree! This reminds me of the study in Britain that showed if children didn’t like spicy food, they were probably racist! Furthermore, a panel was appointed to keep an eye on toddlers in daycare who refused spicy food, lest they be racist. Honestly..insanity rules the day.

How many of these kids had been watching more ‘grown-up’ TV?

This is how it starts.

Forced tolerance programs for the kiddies, courtesy of the "post-racial" administration.

This is just how they "build consensus" for their little Orwellian initiatives. NewsWeak is more than willing to help...

Obviously we need more media brainwashing.

A black South African once told me he hated dogs because they are racist. He said that dogs raised by blacks see both blacks and whites as higher in the pecking order than themselves, but dogs raised by whites see whites as higher, and blacks as lower than themselves.

But then how could I fund my multi-year studies on “diversity?!” We academics and our grad students need jobs too!

After our next civil war, I propose we abolish the job of “activist”, and give them all grant money to learn how to work with their hands. Maybe in the crab-fishing industry.

RE: "Let's just leave people alone . . . and just let people live their lives."

I don't know. That sounds racist to me.

As long as the victims industry is lucrative there will always be a victims industry.

.. even when there is only one white person left on Earth.

(Just imagine the efforts to keep that guy alive!)

It takes remarkably little for children to develop in-group preferences.

Basic human nature: the one thing for which liberals will never develop "tolerance."

Even if he died, there would still be talk for thousands of years later about how everything bad could be attributed to him. They’re still going after Bush. We still hear talk about slavery. Jim Crow- that sort of thing

Does Chevy Chase know his doppelganger is on that list?

In the past, Fishman has worked as a lawyer, cab driver, researcher, lobbyist, writer, and poet

He even sounds like one of Chase's movie roles.

The wonks should have just studied kids in public school.

My kids had friends of every color when they were in K-5th grade. But by the time they got into middle school all their friends were white.

When asked, one of my kids “best friends” from the early years said “You’re not black enough.”

It was the blacks who pulled away from the whites. In the early years they also all talked the same. By High School the majority of blacks were into street lingo.

I heard a missionary on the radio the other day. She served in Africa. When she went to the remotest villages for the first time, all the children ran from her, and were afraid of her. Why is that? Because they were racist?

No, they just had never seen a white person before.

When my daughter came to the United States for the first time, she was afraid of blacks, as well. She had never seen blacks before - she was Russian. Was she racist? No. Eventually her best friend was black. Sigh. When will the liberals get past looking for racism under every rock, or behind every set of blue eyes.
