Paedophiles, domestic abusers, gangbangers, thieves etc are also "products of their environments" as well. Do you see anyone :cape: for them?
You are equating people who committed crimes to kids who haven't done shyt. Get serious. Every batch is gonna have bad apples, and im blown away by you people
ascribing to this idea that people are born this way. A lot of shyt happens between being a kid and growing up to be a bigot, a pedo, abuser, banger, etc. I cape for people who haven't done
shyt. Ya'll do the same, but only if they are black.

sounds pretty normal that a small child will gravitate towards something he is more familiar with like similar features. that doesnt mean the babies hate different looking babies.

now if a study comes out that shows babies literally hate anything different, that would be 20 page thread worthy.

ya try too hard sometimes.

yea but it does show that people are naturally more inclined to stick with their own regardless though

Baby sees someone who resembles their parents...and is more comfortable with it. Who would have thunk?:yeshrug:

"White babies raised in white environments spent an average of 63 percent more time looking at white faces, the study found. Their African-raised counterparts spent 23 percent more time looking at faces from their own race than the other. Black babies raised in mixed-race environments spent roughly equal amounts of time looking at both types.

This suggests that “significant exposure to other-race faces can block the development of own-race preference,” Bar-Haim and colleagues wrote. "

Product of their environment, and quoted directly from that study. You gravitate to what you see. Babies don't have a preference out of anything other than familiarity. It isn't a conscious decision.

yea but thats normal. all humans do that. even something as simple as sex. when u a little boy and u at the park, u gravitate towards the other boys playing sports rather than the girls playing hopscotch. i can think of a million examples.

Babies are also more likely to help those of their ethnicity, an effect known as in-group bias, where people favour those with the same characteristics.

“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.”

So in essence what this study shows us is racists are really child like in mentallity:sas2:
