    Another implication is that human beings become aware of difference as infants and aren't socialized to recognize it. It comes naturally.

    In a second experiment, 80 white 15-month-old babies saw a fair and an unfair researcher distribute toys to a white and an Asian recipient.
    Half the babies saw the unfair experimenter give more to the Asian recipient and the other half saw them give more to the white recipient.
    The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, found that when it came to picking a playmate, the babies picked the fair researcher less often when the unfair one had given more toys to the white recipient rather than the Asian one.
    The researchers concluded that this implied babies could take into account both race and social history when deciding which person to play with.
    “If all babies care about is fairness, then they would always pick the fair distributor, but we’re also seeing that they’re interested in consequences for their own group members,” said Prof Sommerville.
    “Racism connotes hostility and that’s not what we studied.
    “What the study does show is that babies use basic distinctions, including race, to start to cleave the world apart by groups of what they are and aren’t a part of.”

    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.
