Researcher: After 6 Months of Age, Babies Develop Racial Bias

‘We are not predisposed biologically to be racially biased’

RUSH EXCERPT:

LEE: "I hope not. One thing, we are not predisposed biologically to be racially biased. This is what our findings suggested. It seems to be basically our early experience is if it’s very exclusive, we tend to have more bias. I think it depends on parents. And educators. Whether or not you want your kids to develop these biases. For example, you could introduce your kids — babies — to read a story books that are depicting people from all over the world. I think that’s good to help your child to see more individuals from different races, ethnicities, as well as expose them to different cultures. I think it would’ve been make your your babies more worldly. In terms of government programs. It’s a good message from the study."
