Babies are already racist by nine months old, study finds

[freaky]

Oh please no sensitivity training. We have that at my company. It's nothing but political correctness so we don't hurt the other person's feelings. It's these kinds of training that spawns SJWs.

I'm tired of these butthurt sensitive snowflakes. When I grew up as a kid, it was rough man. Everyone was making fun of everyone. We don't got time to be butthurt by every little comments. You'd be made fun of even more if you get butthurt.

It's survival 101 imo. It makes sense to hang out with your own kind. And this study proves it. You're not going to hang out with a baby tiger for example. It's how we survived for so many years.

Just look at EU for ignoring their human instinct for the sake of PC. They are slowly getting wiped out.

If anything, we need to teach our kids to not give a shit about what others are saying.

crybaby 1: "waaah he called me stupid"
Teacher: "aw it's ok, he don't mean that. I mean are you stupid?"
Crybaby 1: "no, i don't think so."
teacher: "exactly, so why are you crying? Why do you care what others think or say? You know you're not stupid."
Then the teacher go on to punish the bully for being mean.

instead of trying to be PC "billy, you shouldn't call him stupid. You should say, he's not smart or your grades are kind of low. You should avoid calling him stupid and try to help him become smart"

lol idk what I'm saying anymore...but these trainings are dumb. I went to LBGTQ training, racist training, homeless training. It's all the same. Talks about their difficulty and how we should be more sensitive towards them and what kind of language to use and even how to act in front of them. These anti-bias training is super bias in itself. The whole time I'm thinking, "all those things happened to me since grade school and I never gave a fuck. Why are these snowflakes so sensitive about everything."

Waste of time and resources. Go study psychology. 3 things affect a person. They are born with it, affected by environment and peers/family.

Humans are TRIBAL by nature. We naturally see things through a "them v us" dichotomy.

As a baby, of course you are going to trust your family members more than strangers. And of course you are going to trust strangers that look somewhat like your family members more than those that don't.

Aye. Did they do any studies on mixed race babies, who would already be accustomed to different races from birth?

 

[Shaungotti]

Seriously, what is more natural than being more comfortable around your own kind?

That obviously doesn't mean you can't connect with members of a different race.

Doesn't end with race either. Males typically develop friendships with other males and vice versa. Everyone knows this.

Can everyone just admit that they already knew this without needing a study to confirm it?

This post reminds of a story a friend of mine was telling me. He was born in a very rural part of Michigan where there are no POC. He was telling me this story where he and his family took a trip down to Detroit to visit some relatives.

He was only around 4 years old and when they got to the city they stopped at a store. There was a Black family ahead of them in line. He said, "Look Dad... Indians!" He wasn't raised by bigots or anything he just never saw black people before.

haha

I live in Maine, which is pretty white and my mother told me a story of me doing something similar when I was a kid. I guess we were out shopping somewhere and I saw a black person and made quite a big deal of it, or so the story goes. "Look mama! Black!"

Obviously, I don't remember it and I didn't know any better. I guess I was pretty fascinated by the black people.

If we send them off to tolerance camp does it double as free daycare?

 

[ryan3434]

Racist?

Do the babies feel they are superior in some way?

 

[Lovestorm]

I watched Boyz In The Hood when i was quite young and picked up the lingo from that. When i was still very young i was at a Christening for a cousin or something and a black person arrived to deliver a gift to the parents of the child being Christened.

I was slightly caught off guard and announced to everyone in hearing range "Look! It's a brotha!".

Not the worst thing i could've said tbh

You are having a full blown melt-down.

Nowhere did it state anything about white people. You are experiencing race based stress, which you are unfamiliar to. Dr. DiAngelo coined this phenomena "White Fragility". It's a common theme in the conservative/Trump movements. Such delusions include the notion of "White Genocide" everywhere and anywhere. Whether it be South African Politics, or who was cast in the new Star Wars movie.

"White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress be- comes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation."

You must be out of touch and older.

It is common among-st academics in Canada, USA, and the general west to argue that true racism can only exist among a privileged class who has power.

So only whites can be racist.


This has been written and promoted in any academic circles for years now and is even published in articles, school newspapers, and media like Huffpost.

"Everything is sexist, everything is racist, everything is homophobic and you have to point it all out."

 

[Huked on foniks]

Nowhere did the researchers associate this with "prejudice". The study isn't about making people feel bad about themselves, it's about identifying just how deep-rooted racism can be. At a point in your life where you're learning the most basic parts of being a functional human being (moving, communicating, etc etc), you're also learning to associate the color of the skin of people around you with comfort and safety. You can relax, nobody is saying these babies OR their parents are awful human beings.

Lol. Babies associate themselves to things that represent safety. Not racism. How did I know a piece of shit like you was going to come in and defend this ridiculous article.

 

[Pwent]

Dogs even sooner.

Only if you train em right


jk sorry I couldn't help it

 

[Pwent]

We need to send these goyim to tolerance re education camps for wrongthink

 

[ehtheist]

Of course only white babies are racist.

Obviously. Minority babies lack the systemic power and privilege that white babies have so they are merely prejudiced whereas white babies are racist.

You sound poor

 

[Pwent]

y'alls parents smoked a methcrack combo during their pregnancies with some of you?

bs study, doesn't even warrant 30 seconds of sources checking (even though i did it).

go back to the crack, nothing to see here except insanely uncontrolled "research" and your average conservatard "results."

/COMING TO YOU FROM A MEMBER OF THE COMMON SENSE PARTY (LIKE CHECKING SOURCES, IDENTIFYING BULLSHIT, ETC. ETC.)

I don't know what study he's citing but I've seen research videos in psychology class in college and babies really are racist. It's a defense mechanism where they only trust people who look like their parents or family members that they've been exposed to. Humans are tribal creatures and babies gravitate towards their own tribe. It's less pronounced in interracial couples since babies can't easily identify which race they're supposed to be cool with

I also learned that babies learn to mistrust liars and their favorite people are those who bring justice upon the wicked

This isn't a new concept at all

 

[oldshadow]

They are calling something racism when it is not.

It's familiarity, the babies are not judging other races they are gravitating toward what is familiar.

Calling it racism is bull shit SJWism.

Manipulating the meaning of words to push political agendas is the new norm!

 

[ehtheist]

You sound upset.

It's interesting that you immediately jump to his emotional state based on text without context from which it would be literally impossible to conclusively determine his emotional state. It's almost like you're a troll who put up something inflammatory and is more interested in pushing peoples' buttons than having any sort of reasonable discussion on the topic. I know this form of posting well since I do it all the time.

i dunno, im pretty sure my kid tried to draw a swastika the other day

There are some serious full-blown meltdowns in this thread.
