4- to 6-Year-Olds Review Dolls Of Different Skin Colours | Regardless Of Race

- Опубліковано 20 тра 2024
- The famous “doll test” was first tried in the 1940s in the United States, where African-American children responded to dolls of different skin tones. What happened when the experiment was recreated in Singapore, for the programme Regardless Of Race: 5 Years On, with pre-schoolers from the minority races?
The results are disheartening: Just like in America, they show that racial prejudice and discrimination in society can condition feelings of inferiority even in young children.
But researchers are also looking into whether children can be trained early on to reduce their own racial biases. OnePeople.sg chairman Janil Puthucheary tries this solution out on a class of preschoolers.
0:00 “Which doll is nice? Which doll looks bad?”
01:29 “Which doll do you want to look like?”
01:51 How racial bias could be reduced in children

This is heartbreaking watching the girl saying she wanted to be born “beige color” 😭
This explains why Chinese 🇨🇳 women prefer White men to Chinese men. - Futhermore, Chinese men are considered as rude.
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.
She actually said Peach color 💀 subtitles are wrong
I'm surprised they said peach and beige
Usually its black or white
Lmao! I was like..No one says that. The chinese must be terrible over there. Ain't no one gives a sh** about looking "beige"
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.❤❤
"I want to be born beige color" God, that's the most heartbreaking thing I've ever heard...
She actually said Peach color 💀
Why is it hear breaking?
That's funny lol
..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?
I'm born beige
Parents teach your kids to love themselves and they'll never depart from that.
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.
This explains why Chinese 🇨🇳 people prefer Eileen Gu to Zhu Yi.
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.
This explains why Chinese 🇨🇳 people prefer Eileen Gu to Zhu Yi.
This is why I prefer the company of a dog over a human. My chiwinnie don't care if I'm brown, ugly, awkward, poor, dumb, or have one eye! They show love & loyalty and they never be mean and talk back to you. 💓
It would be cool if there was a program that would allow kids from different nations to talk to each other in school.
wouldnt be easier to just eliminate racism teaching? before racism
RICH, PRETTY, HANDSOME, TALENTED, SMART = was the flex.
(you just needed to achieved one of the above to make it in society) 2+more wow! marry me😂
infact, if you had any of these qualities.. no passport required. any land would accept you.
____🤴🏼 🤴🏽 🤴🏾 🤴🏿 👸🏽 👸🏾......🔥🔥👍#goal
Or we could just teach them ALL the same language and culture. Enough separating humans because of where their grandparents came from.
um isnt white nations already became full of non white people lol
Their parents play a critical role in the way they behave.
I agree
Send them to prison for hate crime! 🤭

Dude no. It's sensory bias
I feel like its more than just "the parents". Sure, they couldve played a factor in this, but sometimes experiences kids go through can affect the way that kid thinks. Like if a kid of color says the whiter doll is beautiful, it could be because of their parents, but it also could be that child experienced racism. I know it affected me before
Such an interesting study - It certainly highlights how schools have such an important role in helping to dispel racial bias.
As long as it is done without creating more bias, like in this last example.

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.
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. 🙃
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!
I can't wait to watch this soon!
Kenneth and Mamie Clark developed the doll experiment in the 1940s. It was cited in the landmark Brown vs the Board of Education Topeka Kansas.
Oh my gosh, this is so heartbreaking, especially the girl saying she wanted to be born “beige color” ☹
I’m black and I’m happy that I am
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
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.
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?
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 made me cry
This is very emotional
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.
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!
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!!!!
"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
IM SO GLAD THE RESULTS ARE DIFFERENT!! BUT MY SKIN COLOR IS BEING CALLED BAD NOW RIP
Who cares
@@Beautyglambybre Them obviously
no one cares
This is so sad everyone is beautiful in thir own way 😭😢😢
At this age there are countless reasons why they answered what they answered.
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.
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
Uuughh the saga continues. This is why representation of dark brown skin boys and girls is so important.
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
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?

心灵美 精神美才是应该被推崇的。
This one because I know brown smart! That's a loving phrase❤💕💓💗💓💖💘💝
this is so sad
6 years old is too big. They can READ.
you need children who only get information from society.
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 !
Kids know this because of instincts.
Kids are so innocent. They shouldn’t be taught that their are 100s of genders
It's not about the color, it's about how to make colors more attractive. This dolls are not attractive at all
1:36 same ngl
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.
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?
1:37 Hold up, *whips out gun* what did you say lil girl?
Mm... female wears a tudung means female is malay?... race and religion are being mixed up again.
That's not a tudung but a hijab. And islam is a religion not a race that has all races and ethnics.
In Singapore or Malaysia of course that’s how kids would conclude it. Lol.
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?
Hell nawwww 💀💀💀💀 “bcause it’s chinese”
#AskGod
oh, indoctrination at its finest ☺
for goodness sake, they are just children.
0:39 "he is no cute".
That kid is 100% right.
No black people are beautiful
When the question was "which doll do you want to look like the most" they pointed at the white doll. That broke my heart because of how lucky they are to have a dark skin color. I am lighter skinned and i HATE it. Any dark person out there, trust me. You do NOT want to look white. It SUCKS.
I absolutely have no problem with my pale skin 🤷♀️
@azabujuban-hito8085 bro I have all problems with my pale skin. It's probably because I'm a lightskin mexican.

Try the test on white kids
We are all racist
I'm not!! I am a little bit mixed / lived in 6 different countries / backpacked to over 100 countries / I dont prejudice anyone by their skin colour. I may have some other prejudices but they arent RACE related.
@@sweetsweet3753
You have said it yourself that you have prejudice. Case closed
@@praba991ify ??? Your statement calls out that everyone is Racist. That is not the case. but there are other prejudices that are not to do with Race. Not all prejudices are Race related. Your last comment makes no sense???? for example I am prejudice to people who hurt cats and dogs - does that make me racist?
you mean your racist
as if you drool over white men lol fake@@Isisisjssjjsjskssk
If I so happen to like beige color, then I am racist? Wtf with this 'study'?
Yah. And I've known people who bake in the sun to look tan/ brown. Is that also sad? Sigh...
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
Their choices will change once they grow up and become adult.for now they like fair skin but when they become adult for sure it will be a 180° turn..
@Iskha lyf...LOL, and you believe that ? Many of these Asian girls will grow up being white male worshippers like alot of Asian women.
@@dylandylantoriyama5370 i don't think so.but whatever their choices its up to them,its their own path to make
@@littlejourney3178 Exactly so you implictly agree with me. Because we see this alot Asian women ''liking beige skin'' and develops into worshipping European people and loving white men. Deep down you know this is true. You dont even explain to me why you said ''i dont think so'' ?
@@dylandylantoriyama5370 maybe i can agree that they like to have fair skin but not totally like worshipping white men..
Your so deluded people like who they have positive experiences with or 1st impressions which guess what whites are more pretty and friendlier which is why the white baby has been getting picked since 1940 cant blame slavery cant BLAME tv image cause nowadays everything is about diversity but guess what people like what they like and what you said is racist to say that whites are evil is a complete lie
This is child abuse. Terrible.
well, god is the one who created these differences isn't it? he first split us between different gender(M/F). then we we want to unite, he split us by changing our language into diff. languages... then skin colour, then race, then culture, then religion. and now covid. Isn't he's the one who created devils too? when serpent(devil) misled eve, he didn't even appreciate her innocence, rather deems her as stupid and so let Adam to take the lead, saying wife(eve) must listen to Adam(male) which created a world of sexism even until today. Life is such a pain, why when we first came out from out mother's womb, the first thing we do is to cry? cry because of discomfort. why? life is such a pain, it's a game that no one has signed up for. We never asked to be created. now, by saying this I'm risking myself. I'm really tired of thinking these. Even hell is created by the creator. We are created by the creator and who created the creator? it just exist? so many things just doesn't make even bloody sense. if one religion is the only real religion, you're telling me that half of the world population with the other religion(s), no mattering how virtuous they live their life, eventually they will end up in hell? you're telling me people born in a particular country are destined to go to hell because that's their major belief in the country? HOW THESE MAKES ANY BLOODY SENSE. im tired! im really pity people that has went to the attempt suicide, indeed, in most of the beliefs I known. they probably end up in hell, im genuinely pity for them. all they wanted is to end their suffering...... who created us? existence which we never asked for and we are created to be slaves..... sounds like a dictatorship....
never asked to be created
Kids are not racist. Stop making this all about race.
That is hilarious that you could see this and still make that determination
They see colour. And yes they see race. But race is supposed to be neutral right?
We can move on to talk about gender and age too...
My boy when younger, can tell you about the various colours of his classmates. But somehow, he can't tell the races.
He had a pink classmate.
@Anonymous....They are not racist but they learn racist ideas subconsciously. Especially Asians.
You all don't get it. This is heading toward Planetary Genocide. The Elite are going to starve us using fertilizer shortages, sanctions & fake wars as a weapon. Having us divided is a distraction. Gender, color, race, all BS all distractions. Children need to learn to read, add, and subract. Tossing that whole +++ multiple options about who you are nonsense is just a talking point that is illogical and serves no purpose toward humanity. It's anti human. Anti family.
@@cathhl2440 same with my son. However, he’s been told that some of other Indian boys look like him in primary school but he has quite different features and body structure. So now he thinks all the Malay and Indian boys look like him. He also still find it’s hard to describe someone by skin color or features so I just let it be. Im not sure what to make of it but sometimes it makes me smile.
Haha. How childish is this ?.
One theory is , some might choose a shiny one ...
And not the scary looking shady color .
Bruhh.
This could have nothing to do with racism and has everything to do with pleasantness the eyes.
so ur saying people of colour are scary because of their skin tone and that a dark skin tone is less "pleasant" for your eyes?
how is that not racist
“Scary looking shady colour”
“Pleasantness on the eyes”
Its almost like all of these are socially informed, they have everything to do with the narratives we have. In other words, they are racist.
So uh yeah, that statement that you just made is in itself a "racist" statement. Do you not notice that or do you just not care. An attitude such as yours part of the problem and is not helping matters. Just saying.......
@@zendenng5333 yes, apply CRT in Singapore cuz Chinese are bigots and racist against people of color
This explains why Chinese 🇨🇳 people prefer Eileen Gu to Zhu Yi.
Just remember Jesus wasn't like
i mean,,,, even god define dark as negative conotation while white or fair is postive conotation in every religion
I'm black and not surprised 😂
First teach them to be Vegan by showing them videos of slaughter abuse they undergo,then u can continue with this,because kids grow up unbothered about this but thosr innocent animals wont
