Describe how you think most people learn about the concept and meaning of race.

Sagot :

children don’t see colour’ and ‘children aren’t born racist ‘are statements we may hear. While it is doubtful that anyone can be ‘born racist’, there have been studies such as those published in Developmental Science, which have found differences in race-based responding in children as young as three months old  and racial bias in babies as young as six to nine months of age. This indicates that children, like adults, do both see race and act differently because of it. For this reason, it is important then to understand how children conceptualise the idea of race and where they learn their responses to it.
