Horrible
AS YOU can imagine, there is plenty of research into the development of racial bias in children. The first experimental procedure was developed in the 1930s. An adult showed children pairs of dolls—a white doll and a black or brown doll—and asked questions like “Who would you like to play with?,” “Which looks bad?,” and “Which has the nice color?” In the 1970s, an expanded version was developed. Researchers showed children a picture of a white boy and a black boy and tested them with questions like “Here are two boys. One of them is a kind boy. Once he saw a kitten fall into a lake and he picked up the kitten to save it from drowning. Which is the kind boy?” It is perhaps not so surprising that white children were drawn to the white child for the good things and the black child for the bad things. But what was shocking to many was that the first studies, done by the psychologists Kenneth and Mamie Clark, found that black children also tended to favor the white child.
