Toddlers show racial bias when picking playmates, a study reveals. They also take account of how fairly others behave. Researchers tested the reaction of white 15-month-olds as toys were distributed.Two white adults divided the toys, one equally and the other unequally.
Seventy per cent of the toddlers chose to play with the researcher who distributed the toys fairly.
But in a second test, when one researcher favoured a white recipient over an Asian one, they picked the ‘fair’ researcher less often, the journal Frontiers in Psychology reports.
And the babies are more likely to help those who share the same ethnicity, which is known as in-group bias when people favour those with the same characteristics as oneself.

Gotcha
I'm so sorry.
“and most of the babies in our experiments are Caucasian.”
No bias in the experiment there, eh? And all the researchers do is talk about the creepy ass cracker kids. They went out of their way to try to prove whites are born racist.
More specifically, by “Asian” Brits mean “someone originating from the Indian subcontinent”, so it could mean Pakistanis (mostly muslims) or Indians (mostly Hindus). There are significant minorities of both in the UK, largely because of the country’s colonial past. The Brits use the term “orientals” for the folk Americans refer to as “Asians”.
Don’t ever refer to Chinese, Japanese, etc., as Oriental. To them it’s as bad as whites using the n-word.
