Avoiding Discussion of Race Worse Than Mentioning It[views:1391][posts:8]________________________________________ [Oct 6,2008 4:18pm - Conservationist ""] "This result is fascinating because it shows that children as young as 10 feel the need to try to avoid appearing prejudiced, even if doing so leads them to perform poorly on a basic cognitive test," said Kristin Pauker, a Ph.D. candidate at Tufts who also was involved in the research. The authors associated with both studies said their findings offer several important implications. "Our findings don't suggest that individuals who avoid talking about race are racists," Apfelbaum explained. "On the contrary, most are well-intentioned people who earnestly believe that colorblindness is the culturally sensitive way to interact. But, as we've shown, bending over backward to avoid even mentioning race sometimes creates more interpersonal problems than it solves." http://www.livescience.com/culture/081006-race-talk.html Children as young as ten are propagandized into this neo-Stalinist denial of reality. Awesome. |
