Babies are already racist by nine months old, study finds

Sensitivity and anti-racism training are new/current solutions that many sectors of employment have chosen to go down.

"Sensitivity training is a type of group training that focuses on helping organizational members to develop a better awareness of group dynamics and their roles in the group. The training often addresses issues such as gender and multicultural sensitivity as well as sensitivity towards the disabled"

It could have great application and effect in kindergarten/pre school format. Primary schools and high schools already do some form of this.

What a shit study
 
I wonder if this shitty Marxist study even attempted to address the fact that babies feel overall more secure around people who share similar physical characteristics with their parents, with skin color only being one of the determining factors, among many attributes. A stranger with features other than what the baby is used to, will lead to the child feeling anxiety, this much is common sense. We are speaking about a human being introduced to unknown concepts for the very first time in his life.

Are we supposed to "re-educate" the babies out of the natural instinct to cling onto their parents for safety, and to feel comfortable around them, so that they will become more accepting of strangers? This is some Soviet-level "experimenting" here. Legit KGB-style pseudo-scientific justification for taking babies out of the hands of their parents and "engineering" them to become more docile and helpless in a fucked-up society.

There are people whos job it is to find something to use in order to advance the Marxist ideology. They could 'apply critical theory' to a bowl of corn flakes and write a paper on how it is all tied in to white privilege and the structural racism and oppression inherent in Western society.

Anything that comes out of the University of Toronto is Marxist.

It's not a conspiracy, much like the Frankfurt school being Marxist is not a conspiracy. It is what it is.

The actual study just refers to racial bias, but processed through the click-bait media it turns into outright racism. Racial bias is not racism.

Yeah, that was an odd comment.

Also, these studies churn out race-blind results. This isn't specific to white babies.

A social psychologist did this stud. The overwhelming majority of social psychologists are marxists. So most likely it is a study done by a marxist. Sorry if the facts upset you?
 
As soon as the word "racist" changed meanings from "harming others based on their inferiority" to "liking/preferring your own race" I'm pretty sure everything and everyone became racist.

Pseudoscience isn't immune to society's word games.

I would wager most aren't, however faculty chasing tenure and students chasing recommendations tend to toe the line. That line -- no matter how ridiculous -- is usually drawn by some "star professor" who markets themselves via asinine marxist feelgood ideas for broad appeal and the convenient scapegoat of whitey. It's the "so brave" phenomenon, where the person saying the most cowardly PC shit the loudest and in the edgiest ways is heralded as a hero. With all the high-profile KKK assassinations going on and whatnot.

In this case the journalists are perpetrators, interpreting a study on infant genetic preference as evidence that they lack "innocence", in turn implying that repression of natural kinship instincts is some sort of virtue.

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.

My brother asked a woman "why are you black?" at a doctor's office when he was like 3. My mom was embarrassed but the woman laughed it off and read him a children's magazine. He wasn't racist, and he actually already had a black neighbor who was his best friend, he was just a tiny child asking a question out of genuine curiosity. The woman handled it like any mature person would.

Do the babies feel they are superior in some way?

No the thread starter is just being an ass to stir the pot in here.

Lol. Yeah, that baby sure doesn't look white or anything. I usually consider you pretty intelligent but if you're too naive to think that these studies aren't subtlety aimed at white babies (or as other studies have shown not so subtle) then I don't know why to tell you.

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?

Race doesnt has much to do besides physical dimilarities
 
Seano said:
Yeah, we can all pretend otherwise but "racism" in the sense described in the OP is natural. The first time a white kid sees a black person or vice versa, its a shock and its instinctive to be wary of something that seems a little different.

Its not nefarious and its absurd if anyone says it is.

That's also not racism. Kids do not give a shit what color anyone is.

Even in the 60's in North Jersey (mostly black, lots of Italians, lots of racial tension) my dad said all the little white and black kids played together and were best friends until they were like 13-14 and had to pretend not to like each other anymore in high school.

Racism is a ridiculous thing.

Glad you confirmed that you're more interested in pushing buttons than discussing the issue you presented. Good luck to you, my kindred spirit in button pushing!
