Learned about this in my human development class. One reason why parents must do their due diligence with our children. Let them know that they are brilliant and their feelings matter!
Is any research truly accurate?? We'll say, "studies have shown that many people are still racist," but how much information are you ignoring simply because your racism is that other skin colors are being racist. Why don't we ask what the implicit bias were of the researchers doing the research before assuming it was accurate or inaccurate? Assuming that's what they think because of skin color. I'm not saying racism isn't a problem, but the problem is we accuse so many people as racist, but we're ignoring other factors. It gets pretty annoying overtime, I think. I feel like calling others racist is just an umbrella for other problems in society that we don't want to focus on so we hide away from the rain and start pointing fingers out to others who aren't you because nobody wants to take initiative and do anything. You don't actually know what they think, you're just assuming what they think based on your own bias. The kid couldn't do as good because he lives in poverty, that's a government issue, not a child's cognitive development or skin color. Our bias about their supposedly limited cognition isn't going to do much and only sets them up for failure. In the end, we'll just blame it on something else and scapegoat other people or things like the average human does. It's all fine though, we've been doing it for centuries...🤦

Er... maybe the children are dumb?
Where are these studies? Who did these studies?
Now how much research is made based on our implicit bias is the question...
How much limited research is this
