    It is risk/trust assessment

    A black kid will be more afraid of walking though a crowd of other black kids at night than a group of old white woman.

    Those psych studies do show attraction to the familiar, aversion to the strange in infants, of a general sort. But yes people do learn it from experience. As a kid living in the far suburbs of Chicago, I'd go into the city and walk everywhere, right through black neighborhoods without fear because I'd never experienced any cause for fear. Nowadays I'd steer clear of kids in their 20s, white, black or brown, too maany drugs on the street.

    Research is generally showing that infants begin showing racial preference around 6 months, which coincides with developing visual acuity around 5 months. It is impossible to actually know about preference of a factor that infants cannot assess for (sort of like asking a deaf person if Bach is any good). Somewhat similarly, most infants, including those being included in these studies, are exposed primarily to individuals of the same race (their family). It would be interesting to look at maybe adopted or fostered infants in a home with guardians of a different race, but then attachment might be impacted and harm the results.

    This is just another rear guard action in the (very) long retreat from the heavily ideological (and largely Jewish) social science of the 1950s and 1960s.
    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.

    See the OP. None of those studies are reliable. Especially when it comes to racial studies.
