    Racial and other bias in infants.

    Quite remarkable:

    Infant bias against race seems related to innate sense of what's good and/or safe and of what's possibly threatening or dangerous.

    I think that quite often scientistic research begins with a conclusion and those conducting the research look for ways to validate that conclusion.

    Very few of us want to believe racial bias isn't taught but ingrained and this is just one of several studies that have obtained the same or similar results. The researchers didn't like the results but had the integrity to report them honestly.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    If only because decades of social conditioning and propaganda have convinced you that the obvious isn't obvious.

    Is it race per se or just familiarity. We warm to the familiar, shy away from the unfamiliar. Race would be a part of that, ethnicity, language/dialect, facial expression, mannerisms.

    I think that's their point. Race is used to grab headlines when it's only part of the story. There is also some (intentional?) ambiguity here. Racism isn't bias. It's an ideology. No one is born a Klansman. Still, it's becoming increasingly clear that bias is not taught. Human beings develop biases within a matter of months. bad news for the egalitarian, blank slate crowd.

    Not only is more than race involved but more than black/white is even though that's where it always goes. Sunic's Post-mortem Report discussion of racism against Germans following the WWs is eye-opening.

    If you see a bunch of white faces all the time, you'll probably feel better around them. If you see a bunch of brown faces all the time, you'll probably feel better around them. If you see a bunch of both, it probably won't matter much. Most people are in racially homogeneous environments, so the infants are probably only exposed to one type of person. It makes sense. I'd like to see if the result would be the same in a child in a mixed environment.
