I'm literally in tears right now hearing that beautiful brown skinned girl say that she wants to be born beige. I hope she can see her beauty and importance in this world. But the boy who chose the darkest doll to be the smart one because his dad is smart brought happy tears. It hurts my heart to know kids feel bad about their skin color. We're all God's children. Everyone is beautiful if their heart is loving and accepting and they're good people.
Sadly I’ve seen in India people want women to be as light as possible and see it as true beauty instead of darkness. It’s disgusting how even children are made to think thus
@@Chicken_Nuggiidoesnt hrlp too when Indian society and family also thinks fairer skin is nicer. I’m indian, but born in Csnada. My psrenfs never told me but i’d overhear rekatives saying thst soms of our cousins with fairer skin had “ nicer” skin. I myself have brown skin, about the same skintine of the brown indisn girl.
The boy who choose brown doll as the smartest doll because his father has a dark skin. One day he will grow with a great personality.He love to himself and it's great. Love you little Indian boy.❤❤
@@jikook7457 If you look at a part of the video, it says Singaporean. Now I know Singapore is a very multicultural place but we can't just assume that he's Indian because he could be another culture that looks Indian like Spanish, Latino, African etc. Also, why did the comment say little *Indian* boy, like, you don't need to include the *Indian* in there
@@obvidanae it labeled him as being from Singapore? I was too saddened from the others not liking their skin tone to hear all the details I guess. The boy who chose the darker skin because of his dad turned my sadness to joy. Ur right tho about assuming. I shouldn't have either. Thanks for letting me know of my mistake. 🙂
at the end of the day: they ruined the test. its 2 dolls. no readers. 2:40 that class is pointless.🙄 she seen 7 skin bleaching commercials, 20,000 pale news journalist, 30,000 actress/actor that are pale skin, and grandparents telling her she should come OUT the sun. this is the main reason why the test only use children who cant read yet; they reflect back society.
This is great, thanks for doing this. We need to talk about and openly discuss issues surrounding both implicit and explicit racial bias in the context of Singapore.
When you know people personally, they are no longer stereotyped. Psychology studies show it's easy to be racist if you have no contact with people, eg, posted job applicants. When they handed over the resume / cv face to face and chat, discrimination drops greatly. This child experiment also supports this hypothesis.
As long as it is done without creating more bias, like in this last example.

It would be great to have programs where kids could FaceTime with kids from all over the world to highlight and learn about how much they are alike, instead of how they just look different.
I believe this study is incomplete. We recently did a similar study but with more of a background study on the students and children participating. The part about society playing a strong influence remained true; however, family influence also played a major factor. For example (and this is going to be a very general review of just one instance), we had two children of (nearly) the same skin color and race. Interestingly, one of the students had a father that strongly approved of another race to a point that the implication was that that race was superior to their own. Unsurprisingly, that student picked the toy/doll that the father would emphasis was superior. This was not a doll that shared the child's own skin color. The other student also picked another race; however, we came to learn that the father often berated the child and told him/her that he/she was "bad" if they did something unfavorable. We gathered that the child's view of self was negative and had chosen toy/toll of another skin color. This is obviously not complete as well but the point is that there are many different factors that come into play so rather than saying we'll never know why, we should focus on healthy mental development from a young age.
Isn’t it crazy, I’d prefer a darker complexion. I still haven’t grasped the understanding. Because when I was little I had a mixed race friend. And I thought she was so beautiful! Her hair, eyes, beautiful skin that glowed. And she was sad. We were very little, but it stuck with me, because as a little white girl my heart broke for this girl, and no matter what I said she felt the same 😭I would’ve done anything to have her beautiful colouring. She didn’t believe me, but it’s from my heart. Still wake up in a freight with not knowing how to console her 😭
I thank god every day for my existence and I wouldn't change who I am because God made me that way. As far as I'm concerned everyone is equal in my mind and should love themselves at least their race because God made them that way. I judge people on their personality and I treat everyone with respect and avoid those that don't treat me with the same respect. It only matters what's inside a person not what's outside.
I wonder what smart is he talking about. When Americans say smart it means intelligent In original British English and indian english that he is, smart means impressive/charismatic.
Well white is better colour tbh. My problem with black is it looks bit dirty. It may not be but dirty but it looks that way to me Extreme white is also not attractive because too much pallor looks like diseased. Lighter shades of brown and normal white is best.
Don't be sad. According to Buddhism, all we own and encounter are due to our deed in our past lives.Don't do evil things and do good for others in order to change your life. To learn the Buddhism in order to release your soul just is the most important thing in the physical vanity fair.

Interesting video. In Asia especially is discriminating based on skin colour due to racism or elitism - they are different. I have had many 1st hand experiences of certain stereotypes : dark skin = working outside = poor. This is not to do with race - simply elitism.. so many in Asia spend a lot of money on skin whitener - the driver here is predominantly to not look poor. In Thailand for example many want to be whiter skinned - not to be a foreigner - simply a whiter Thai. True example : A Chinese colleague once asked my NZ (white) colleague what his family did for work : Oh my parents are farmers he replied!! Chinese colleague says "oh sorry to hear that" as he visualised them as peasant farmers.. My NZ colleagues parents own a farm maybe a similar size to Changi. 🙃
as a Chinese person, I can agree. In Asia (usually east) we think whiter skin are richer and more elite (stereotype). So some usually use foundation way lighter than their natural skin tone, or use whitener. This does not mean we are racist (though I can’t argue that some ppl are) but WE just think that lighter skin is more elite. No offence to the darker skinned people, you guys are just as beautiful and sometimes even I am jealous of your skin. So many dark skinned ppl HAVE SUCH CLEAR SKIN LIKE OMG???
Just to add, when they said which dolls' skin color they wish they had, I understood their thoughts and feelings because everybody is insecure and everybody wishes that they had a certain thing about their body. Same as me, I always wanted to be white even though I am black. I cried in front of my family when I was little just because I wanted to be white, that is how bad I wanted to be white. But now, I love my skin color and I would never want to change it for a different skin color!
This is a remake of an identical experiment in the 1960s, which helped to end the "separate but equal" myth used to justify segregation Those children, however, broke into tears
I would love to see similar tests in area's with black kids only, or Asian kids only, or white kids only. Not city area's, but relatively remote area's. On those locations the kids don't really often see many different kids. I mean, if you go to a city you'll see piles of different kids with differend backgrounds, but if you go to area's with a low people density, you'll see white kids who have never seen black kids. Or black kids who have never seen white kids. That way the odds of the child already having experience with kids with other skincolors are a lot lower, so they can't really know what such a kid is like. Also, I would like to see what they would do it you put a blue, or a green doll in between, would they think it's a smart doll, or dumb, or sick or not a human at all?
i dont understand where these ideas come from in little kids, they did this test with my class back in 2001 when i was only three, now im a white male with red hair and when i was subjected to this test my responses were quite different, when i was asked "witch doll is the good doll" i responded by holding both of them up, when i was then asked "what doll is the bad doll" i responded by saying "they are babies they cant be bad" to this day i still dont see race, i see people
Why teach them a lie? Attraction towards skin colour is subjective Let them judge for themselves instead of forcing an ideology upon them Just teach them not to be bigot but that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to have preferences. 🤷
@@indiankid8601That’s basically saying racism is okay… why should we teach children that it’s okay to like, say, black people more than white? Or vice versa, or with more races than just that. By your logic, racism is just an opinion and therefore okay but it’s not. It’s not okay to have opinions on PEOPLE’S SKIN COLOR, without even getting to know them. We aren’t apples, green apples may often taste sour and you may like or dislike them, but these are individual people and the reason some may behave differently is because of their personality or/and life experiences, not because of their skin color (which could be a factor, but even then, it’s others that judge them for it, not the color itself having an effect on their brain or whatever racists think)
@@birb70 Liking or disliking a skin ccolour is not racism. An action or speech done on basis of that which leads to discrimination or bigotry is racism. I dont like darker skin colour that is my choice. I would never wont that in my partner as i dont like it. Not everyone should be forced to like anything. And not everyone cares about character oof a person. some care about looks too
At this age, you’re surrounded by family. Growing up with lightskin parents and grandparents l probably would have selected the first two dolls. I remember the first time l saw a darkskin person as a small child l was frighten. So it’s not racism at this age but lack of familiarity as exhibited by the boy who stated his dark brown papa was smart.
This makes me very sad. It makes me think of the American Girl store when little girls pick a doll with darker skin tone and their mother makes them put it back or returns it because of the skin color. Not every parent but some.
The poor brown girl has clearly been told wrong things. In Asia it’s known that people prefer women to be “ fair “ skinned instead of “ dark “ because it looks supposedly prettier. When that’s not true. All skin is beautiful!!
This is the second one of these I've watched and it's more heartbreaking in the other one because some of the children don't know why they say bad stuff about the black doll, and the others know and feel no shame 😢
I am really surprised that children at this age already have the idea of racism and these are all originated from their parents teaching ~ Once this idea is implanted, how long and how much effort will it take to "wash off" this kind of racist thought ! Children should be like angels who are kind towards everyone without stereotype and racism
surprised? Children are extremely intelligent they watch our every move and pick up on verbal and non verbal cues. So, even if parents have not said anything disparaging about another race they may have acted a certain way and their child can read that. This test was originally conducted in 1940 I believe, and the results are the same in 2022. The more things change the more they stay the same.
@兔兔爱古兔 Lol Chinese people are some of the biggest racist community out there. Analyse the Chinese kids in the beginning they al knew that being '' beige color'' was the ''best thing to be in Singapore''. That why white people are treated by them as angeles. You see the same phycology among alot of Asian people a deep deep insecure and low self image. The Indian boy was the only one who had a postive self image. Just be honest and give in the fact many Chinese people and other East Asians have low self image and teach this to their kids.
You know if I'm being honest, I know that they are just children and they don't really understand as much, But I think they should love all skin colors black, white, etc. And I am not saying this as if they were trying to be racist but that's just what I want to get off my chest. I totally understand children like this because I used to be like this too, I don't wanna say that I hated but I guess I just didn't like the black girl dolls so I only liked the white girl dolls. If my mom or grandma bought me a black doll, I would start crying and making a fuss about it, I am black myself so I'm not sure why I thought that way but that's how I felt when I was a little girl. But now that I've gotten older, I've noticed how much I've changed and now I love both black dolls and white dolls, really I love all pigments! Every single color in this world is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
They will love what they want to love. You cannot force liking on anyone. We aren't living in a dictatorship. Just teach them not to be biased or bigoted. What they like or dislike is their personal right to choice.
While choosing a wife I would certainly look for lighter skin tone. That' s my personal preference, you cannot force me to marry otherwise skin tone by telling me "all skin is beautiful". No. I have my preferences and I never feel attracted to darker shades. 🤷
I was saying that I think that all skin tones are beautiful but if you disagree that's fine, and that's your preference I have a preference too. No forcing here.
"How racial bias can be reduced in children"? Or how to reduce color bias in children? Coz thats all I saw, kids picking between colors, not race. Race≠skin color. How superficial can people get. We are all part of the same ancestors, the same race, the human race
Don't be sad. According to Buddhism, all we own and encounter are due to our deed in our past lives.Don't do evil things and do good for others in order to change your life. To learn the Buddhism in order to release your soul just is the most important thing in the illusive world.
Africa just as bad with skin bleaching epidemic but this is all the after effects of the WM colonization. White supremacy is one of the most infectious diseases this worlds civilization has ever witness !
It is extremely sad to see all these children suffering from such a young age.... in this world and in the human condition of our century, as the global situations are, children can be imoacted and then live in prejudice just at the heard of tiny fractures of meanings, or words, or information. Who knows at the end of the day how the global information that we create as humans, at a world wide level, how it is actually impacting us....?!?? I might even believe that the information is impacting us even if we are not faced directly with the obvious signs... words or face expressions or even being impacted directly.... I think that the global information existent around us.... planetary.... like a layer around us, it is in fact impacting all of us!!!!
We have a ver very very long way to go. The poisonous perception of self in the connections to other lighter skin colors is crippling to the spirit and mental health
I was wondering what the impact of the colour of the interviewer is on the results though! Maybe it would be interesting to repeat the test with two interviewers, one white and black, taking turns in asking the questions?
@@aleks-wy6uf Oh no! That makes it even worse. I thought the kids were choosing the white doll because they didn't want to offend the interviewer, but that 's clearly not it...
What if it's just a case of the grass is always greener. You know, when I was little ( I am very light skinned Caucasian) I really wanted to be darker skinned. It was pretty to me. I loved black hair and brown eyes. But probably because it was different than me. The grass is always greener. Maybe we just read into things too much.
..or maybe god programmed our brain that way? ever wonder why you always pay attention more to white people? or ever wonder why porn companies receive the biggest income from using white people? @@olg06
There was not one picture of a dark skin boy or girl given to the class. Not one, this explains why the kids never picked the black doll in the first place.
Most kids choose which one is smarter because they will usually choose what resembles the smartest person they know. But they conveniently left out having the kids explain why except the one kid from India where fair skin is the higher standard of beauty
by talking about racial harmony constantly, we are actually dividing them through their race. makes them even more conscious of races... are we all not just humans?
I think if the dolls were other dolls with hair and features then kids would have not such opinions because dolls in video were not much attractive to kids i think .
Ich wollte als Kind farbig sein, das fand ich schön. Das wäre ich auch immer noch gerne... gleichzeitig bin ich froh, dass ich nicht aufgrund meiner Hautfarbe vorberurteilt werde. Zumindest deshalb nicht. Meine Behinderung und mein Geschlecht sorgen in Germany nicht selten für Vorurteile
Personally I don’t think the problem is, that children see the race first. That is something we all do….trying to distinguish people from what they look like. And we usually use the names, if we know them afterwards. The problem is not that people see the color of the skin, as long as it is as neutral as color of hair or eyes. And we should not over interpret: A lot of adults would like to change something at their looks. The whole make up industry and hair color or perm producing industry would not exist otherwise. But that doesn’t mean that we all hate ourselves.
It's disgusting that society has made it normal to want to change something about ourselves. We should love and accept ourselves, as long as we are healthy and not obese. The only reason we want to change is because society.
The first experiement was a very old experiement. Times have changed drasticly, so unless its a 2022 or higher year, I do not believe it. Plus, with tv and internet shows...I dont think this issue is as prevalent. Toddlers learn color. So obviously they will see skin color. The look of mom and dad (if safe) determines what theyd feel best about.
..or maybe god programmed our brain that way? ever wonder why you always pay attention more to white people? or ever wonder why porn companies receive the biggest income from using white people?
It depends on why you liked the beige in first place. All this kids had reasons why they liked and disliked, and mostly the reasons are based on racism.
"The skin is chinese" . Its pretty clear what she means. The most beige people are north Indians, middle eastern, central asian and chinese...SHE SPECIFICALLY SAID, THE SKIN IS "CHINESE". YOU CAN TELL WHOSE BEING RACIST TO HER and making her feel small
Imagine how insecure you would need to be to think that this exercise will change the fact that light skin is the international standard of beauty or that evil is always depicted as dark 🤔
I'm literally in tears right now hearing that beautiful brown skinned girl say that she wants to be born beige. I hope she can see her beauty and importance in this world. But the boy who chose the darkest doll to be the smart one because his dad is smart brought happy tears. It hurts my heart to know kids feel bad about their skin color. We're all God's children. Everyone is beautiful if their heart is loving and accepting and they're good people.
Sadly I’ve seen in India people want women to be as light as possible and see it as true beauty instead of darkness. It’s disgusting how even children are made to think thus

That way the odds of the child already having experience with kids with other skincolors are a lot lower, so they can't really know what such a kid is like.
Also, I would like to see what they would do it you put a blue, or a green doll in between, would they think it's a smart doll, or dumb, or sick or not a human at all?
You will find if you do this in Africa that the children will favour white characters more.
not only in africa!!! ALL NON WHITE NATIONS, even all europeans prefer blonde blue eyed north europeans!!!!@@nadiamirza523
This isn't even the first time I've seen something like this done but it's still just as heartbreaking.
i dont understand where these ideas come from in little kids, they did this test with my class back in 2001 when i was only three, now im a white male with red hair and when i was subjected to this test my responses were quite different, when i was asked "witch doll is the good doll" i responded by holding both of them up, when i was then asked "what doll is the bad doll" i responded by saying "they are babies they cant be bad" to this day i still dont see race, i see people
Loved it
Well white is equated with angels
And black/dark is equated with you what what stuff
For starters. 🤷
Please parents teach your kids that all colors are Different and Beautiful 😢
Why teach them a lie? Attraction towards skin colour is subjective
Let them judge for themselves instead of forcing an ideology upon them
Just teach them not to be bigot but that doesn't mean they aren't allowed to have preferences. 🤷
@@indiankid8601That’s basically saying racism is okay… why should we teach children that it’s okay to like, say, black people more than white? Or vice versa, or with more races than just that. By your logic, racism is just an opinion and therefore okay but it’s not. It’s not okay to have opinions on PEOPLE’S SKIN COLOR, without even getting to know them. We aren’t apples, green apples may often taste sour and you may like or dislike them, but these are individual people and the reason some may behave differently is because of their personality or/and life experiences, not because of their skin color (which could be a factor, but even then, it’s others that judge them for it, not the color itself having an effect on their brain or whatever racists think)
@@birb70 Liking or disliking a skin ccolour is not racism. An action or speech done on basis of that which leads to discrimination or bigotry is racism. I dont like darker skin colour that is my choice. I would never wont that in my partner as i dont like it. Not everyone should be forced to like anything. And not everyone cares about character oof a person. some care about looks too
At this age, you’re surrounded by family. Growing up with lightskin parents and grandparents l probably would have selected the first two dolls. I remember the first time l saw a darkskin person as a small child l was frighten. So it’s not racism at this age but lack of familiarity as exhibited by the boy who stated his dark brown papa was smart.
They’re wokifying the kids
This makes me very sad. It makes me think of the American Girl store when little girls pick a doll with darker skin tone and their mother makes them put it back or returns it because of the skin color. Not every parent but some.
The poor brown girl has clearly been told wrong things. In Asia it’s known that people prefer women to be “ fair “ skinned instead of “ dark “ because it looks supposedly prettier. When that’s not true. All skin is beautiful!!
This is the second one of these I've watched and it's more heartbreaking in the other one because some of the children don't know why they say bad stuff about the black doll, and the others know and feel no shame 😢
The brown doll is so cute though 😭😭😭😭😭
I am really surprised that children at this age already have the idea of racism and these are all originated from their parents teaching ~ Once this idea is implanted, how long and how much effort will it take to "wash off" this kind of racist thought ! Children should be like angels who are kind towards everyone without stereotype and racism
surprised? Children are extremely intelligent they watch our every move and pick up on verbal and non verbal cues. So, even if parents have not said anything disparaging about another race they may have acted a certain way and their child can read that. This test was originally conducted in 1940 I believe, and the results are the same in 2022. The more things change the more they stay the same.
Is that why Chinese women prefer White men to Chinese men?
@兔兔爱古兔 Lol Chinese people are some of the biggest racist community out there. Analyse the Chinese kids in the beginning they al knew that being '' beige color'' was the ''best thing to be in Singapore''. That why white people are treated by them as angeles. You see the same phycology among alot of Asian people a deep deep insecure and low self image. The Indian boy was the only one who had a postive self image. Just be honest and give in the fact many Chinese people and other East Asians have low self image and teach this to their kids.
@@teascobie6557 The more things change the more they stay the same....yup
I’m not surprised at all. As an ethnic minority in singapore 🇸🇬, you know it already starts at the playground.
They should have asked these children why they made the choices that they did
They would have said “because it looks more like my family” and that doesn’t go well with their agenda
"because my father is smart" AWWWW
The children's attitudes are a direct reflection of their parents.
You know if I'm being honest, I know that they are just children and they don't really understand as much, But I think they should love all skin colors black, white, etc. And I am not saying this as if they were trying to be racist but that's just what I want to get off my chest. I totally understand children like this because I used to be like this too, I don't wanna say that I hated but I guess I just didn't like the black girl dolls so I only liked the white girl dolls. If my mom or grandma bought me a black doll, I would start crying and making a fuss about it, I am black myself so I'm not sure why I thought that way but that's how I felt when I was a little girl.
But now that I've gotten older, I've noticed how much I've changed and now I love both black dolls and white dolls, really I love all pigments! Every single color in this world is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
They will love what they want to love. You cannot force liking on anyone. We aren't living in a dictatorship.
Just teach them not to be biased or bigoted.
What they like or dislike is their personal right to choice.
While choosing a wife I would certainly look for lighter skin tone. That' s my personal preference, you cannot force me to marry otherwise skin tone by telling me "all skin is beautiful".
No. I have my preferences and I never feel attracted to darker shades. 🤷
@@indiankid8601 True.
I was saying that I think that all skin tones are beautiful but if you disagree that's fine, and that's your preference I have a preference too. No forcing here.
If they show me those dolls, I gonna say they all are creepy
IM SO GLAD THE RESULTS ARE DIFFERENT!! BUT MY SKIN COLOR IS BEING CALLED BAD NOW RIP
Who cares
@@Brendaglam24 Them obviously
no one cares
Why are the replies so rude?😭
@@Iloveanimesosftu Peoplr really hate my kind i guess 😭⁉️
They might have learned it from their parents. Anyway, I like this thing. They should do this all around the world
I can't wait to watch this soon!
This is very emotional
"How racial bias can be reduced in children"? Or how to reduce color bias in children? Coz thats all I saw, kids picking between colors, not race. Race≠skin color. How superficial can people get. We are all part of the same ancestors, the same race, the human race
Don't be sad. According to Buddhism, all we own and encounter are due to our deed in our past lives.Don't do evil things and do good for others in order to change your life. To learn the Buddhism in order to release your soul just is the most important thing in the illusive world.
0:20 she said "shiny", not "Chinese".. wrong subtitles
This video was recommended after I watched a video of a caucasian kid who chose a black doll. Stark contrast to this video here.
This is so sad everyone is beautiful in thir own way 😭😢😢
Everyone may be beautiful in their own way but they are not beautiful in my way. The choice is mine here not objective choice
She said the brown one is smart
Can you do doll test for White, Asian, Black and Indian children ( including mixed races) under 5 years old. .
I'm black And I'm offensive This is so heartbreaking for me They really don't like my color😕😥
But who cares though learn to love your own and love yourself first
then u should stay in africa to prevent heartbreaking
Africa just as bad with skin bleaching epidemic but this is all the after effects of the WM colonization. White supremacy is one of the most infectious diseases this worlds civilization has ever witness !
you should stay at home for others safety... what a psycho !
It's got to start in their own cultures with colourism. There's only so much DEI can do.
It is extremely sad to see all these children suffering from such a young age.... in this world and in the human condition of our century, as the global situations are, children can be imoacted and then live in prejudice just at the heard of tiny fractures of meanings, or words, or information. Who knows at the end of the day how the global information that we create as humans, at a world wide level, how it is actually impacting us....?!?? I might even believe that the information is impacting us even if we are not faced directly with the obvious signs... words or face expressions or even being impacted directly.... I think that the global information existent around us.... planetary.... like a layer around us, it is in fact impacting all of us!!!!
We have a ver very very long way to go. The poisonous perception of self in the connections to other lighter skin colors is crippling to the spirit and mental health
I was wondering what the impact of the colour of the interviewer is on the results though! Maybe it would be interesting to repeat the test with two interviewers, one white and black, taking turns in asking the questions?
@@aleks-wy6uf Oh no! That makes it even worse. I thought the kids were choosing the white doll because they didn't want to offend the interviewer, but that 's clearly not it...
Yeah, that would be interesting.
this made me cry
The little indian kid made me so sad
This one because I know brown smart! That's a loving phrase❤💕💓💗💓💖💘💝
What if it's just a case of the grass is always greener. You know, when I was little ( I am very light skinned Caucasian) I really wanted to be darker skinned. It was pretty to me. I loved black hair and brown eyes. But probably because it was different than me. The grass is always greener. Maybe we just read into things too much.
Kids know this because of instincts.
6 years old is too big. They can READ.
you need children who only get information from society.
She is saying "peach" not beige...
It’s doesn’t rlly matter
So much for kids not being born racist.
This is the "doll test" from the 60's. So what has really changed?
not a fan of the modification.
I mean they all said the brown was bad rather than the black this time lol
Nothing. They still racist.
..or maybe god programmed our brain that way? ever wonder why you always pay attention more to white people? or ever wonder why porn companies receive the biggest income from using white people?
@@olg06
Our mindset is stuck in the 60s, and has not evolved with time.
There was not one picture of a dark skin boy or girl given to the class. Not one, this explains why the kids never picked the black doll in the first place.
The most important thing kids need to learn in USA is that we are all Americans FIRST. Regardless where our ancestors came from, USA comes first.
1:37 Hold up, *whips out gun* what did you say lil girl?
these kids are taught racism from their parents
@Dressed in Modesty....Yup like most Asian parents...a deep self hate and low image is part of Asian culture.
Your deluded
Most kids choose which one is smarter because they will usually choose what resembles the smartest person they know. But they conveniently left out having the kids explain why except the one kid from India where fair skin is the higher standard of beauty
by talking about racial harmony constantly, we are actually dividing them through their race. makes them even more conscious of races... are we all not just humans?
the first girl said "the skin is shiny" not chinese
You aren't born with colorism (skin tone) and/or racism .. you're taught
Kids learn from adults. 😔
The little girl ashamed of her dark brown family that’s so sad the parents needs to do some work and teach her confidence in who she is
MAGA love this.
I am that skin color and plus what Are rhey teaching these lil ones im the middle doll 💀😭
I think if the dolls were other dolls with hair and features then kids would have not such opinions because dolls in video were not much attractive to kids i think .
Kids are so innocent. They shouldn’t be taught that their are 100s of genders
So heart breaking 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
oh, indoctrination at its finest ☺
Cuz the dolls are weird looking so the majority seek things in common😅😂
心灵美 精神美才是应该被推崇的。
Me being the smartest kid: says everyone is equal 🥰
Who poised these young clever children
Ich wollte als Kind farbig sein, das fand ich schön. Das wäre ich auch immer noch gerne... gleichzeitig bin ich froh, dass ich nicht aufgrund meiner Hautfarbe vorberurteilt werde. Zumindest deshalb nicht. Meine Behinderung und mein Geschlecht sorgen in Germany nicht selten für Vorurteile
Personally I don’t think the problem is, that children see the race first. That is something we all do….trying to distinguish people from what they look like. And we usually use the names, if we know them afterwards.
The problem is not that people see the color of the skin, as long as it is as neutral as color of hair or eyes.
And we should not over interpret: A lot of adults would like to change something at their looks. The whole make up industry and hair color or perm producing industry would not exist otherwise.
But that doesn’t mean that we all hate ourselves.
No, as a young kid, I did not see race, I saw people. I didn't know what race was.
It's disgusting that society has made it normal to want to change something about ourselves. We should love and accept ourselves, as long as we are healthy and not obese. The only reason we want to change is because society.
why except 2 all have INDIAN name
this is so sad
1:36 same ngl
The first experiement was a very old experiement. Times have changed drasticly, so unless its a 2022 or higher year, I do not believe it. Plus, with tv and internet shows...I dont think this issue is as prevalent. Toddlers learn color. So obviously they will see skin color. The look of mom and dad (if safe) determines what theyd feel best about.
Hell nawwww 💀💀💀💀 “bcause it’s chinese”
Let them know there all beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
for goodness sake, they are just children.
Try the test on white kids
This is child abuse. Terrible.
society is screwed👎
God why? why? no reply anyway
..or maybe god programmed our brain that way? ever wonder why you always pay attention more to white people? or ever wonder why porn companies receive the biggest income from using white people?
0:39 "he is no cute".
That kid is 100% right.
If I so happen to like beige color, then I am racist? Wtf with this 'study'?
It depends on why you liked the beige in first place. All this kids had reasons why they liked and disliked, and mostly the reasons are based on racism.
Thats exactly what you need to do. STUDY. Because you clearly do not know and understand racism and colorism. Now go off to school. Bye
@@cathhl2440 the sun is allowed for white people wtf are you on about we can tan stop generalising us cause guess what that's racist
"The skin is chinese" . Its pretty clear what she means. The most beige people are north Indians, middle eastern, central asian and chinese...SHE SPECIFICALLY SAID, THE SKIN IS "CHINESE". YOU CAN TELL WHOSE BEING RACIST TO HER and making her feel small
#AskGod
Again, another disgustingly insult interview. There is no need to keep repeating the experiments. People get the message. Do something meaningful.
Imagine how insecure you would need to be to think that this exercise will change the fact that light skin is the international standard of beauty or that evil is always depicted as dark 🤔
