Babies are racist by 9 months of age!

OK I may have mis-stated the point of the article slightly.

"In the study, 48 Caucasian infants were given the task of differentiating between faces of their own race and faces that belonged to another, unfamiliar, race. In another experiment, sensors placed on the babies' heads detected brain activity when the babies saw images of faces of Caucasian or African-American races expressing emotions that either matched or did not match sounds they heard, such as laughing and crying.

While 5-month-olds were equally able to distinguish faces from different races, 9-month-olds fared better with their own race. Likewise, brain activity measurements showed the 9 month olds processed emotional expressions among Caucasian faces differently than those of African-American faces, while the 5 month olds did not."

LOL.

Wouldn't that just be because they're used to seeing their parents faces?

They should test it on a white kid with black parents.

Or they shouldn't. It kinda seems like a waste of time and money.
