    Question, do we really know scientifically that a human can't be born racist? I honestly believe it's natural to gravitate to what you know, in fact, we might have it backwards, maybe we're all born racist and we have to be taught to not be and to treat everybody equally and to treat others as we would want to be treated. Just a thought, ? those lil girl's parents though. Two more racists in the making.

    I bet all the books & films they've read & seen have the white characters as good and the black ones as the "evil villains."

    Mom Duke's evil scientist laugh at the end was "call CPS-worthy."

    Two kids of different races will play together in a sandbox until SOMEONE tells them they're different.

    I keep telling you that we know you're a racist white republican using a black sounding username on a hip hop message board.

    This video is a perfect illustration of how racist white people are created.

    The mother is an obvious bigot and she's teaching her children to be bigots, as well.

    Racism is taught and passed down like a family heirloom

    Did you read this link that you posted? Cause it doesn't support what you are saying. It supports the idea that preferences are not natural, but develop over time from what babies are most exposed to, otherwise there wouldn't be the difference between 5-month olds and 9-month olds.

    then it's natural because as we grow we naturally change brain development changes hormones and how the body works change.

    NO. By this reasoning the natural vs. nurture debate is entirely misconceived, for then it can always be said that nurture-driven effects are ultimately rooted in nature.

    Oldest kid the only one in the room with some sense.

    Naw.....She just more adept at hiding her displeasure......im pretty sure she aware of the "joke" and why its not "appropriate" to react negatively. tolerating something is different from acceptance to me.
    To be honest i dont blame the younger one for crying.....she really supposed to relate to that doll?


    To any blame girl who would react the same to that same doll...shame,shame,shame on the parents.

    In one simple lesson she could have put her children on the right path from an early age... instead she reinforced their bad behavior not only by laughing at their ingrained racism but also by laughing at their rude and privileged behavior when they open a gift that they don't like for whatever reason.

    Exactly.

    THE ONLY thing nurture does is accentuate already existing genetic proclivities

    Kids dont behave like this without their parents influence. Little kids are too creative and fascinated with the beauty of everything to make such clear distinctions regarding whether they dislike anyone based on something as simple as color. White kids are taught to not like black dolls. Black kids are taught to not like black dolls.

    THE CHILDREN in that video were not toddlers people are born with in group preferences the only thing parents/environment do is make stronger whatever our natural preferences are

    C/s

    Racism is learned

    However from birth our brains are programmed to seek protection amongst people that we can identify with, and fear those we cannot

    In making these decisions on who are enemies and who are allies it mostly comes down to what is familiar(safe) and a different skin color is about as different as you can get

    Studies have shown toddlers will notice or make note of a person with different skin color before an individual of a different gender

    That's what I'm saying. You can tell the oldest girl did not like the doll, but either has enough sense to not be ungrateful or has enough sense to know how to be PC.
