Latino toddlers lag white children in cognitive skills

I think we might be able to put this in the same category as this:

See Baby Discriminate

Kids as young as 6 months judge others based on skin color. What's a parent to do?

The article concerning the biased "study" seems to have been cleaned up - as I remember it the header was something like "Is your baby a racist?", featuring a picture of a white baby. I believe it has also been edited to be less offensive, as the article seemed to originally to be focused more on white children having racist notions, without similar reference to babies of other races.

I think we all remember this quote from the article:

If "black pride" is good for African-American children, where does that leave white children? It's horrifying to imagine kids being "proud to be white."

The comment section has been closed and I believe the commentary isn't accessible anymore, there must have been a firestorm of criticism.




I also believe that if we focus too much attention on the New York Times and LA Times articles concerning an unnamed study about brown babies and speculate as to whether the quoted conclusions are due to genes or environment, it will be spun into something like this:

...hispanic gang members, homosexuals and transvestites, Jews, and misguided college kids... http://www.nsm88.org/reports/califor...ortoct2009.htm

Then the usual progression from there:

"The Holocaust - The Nazi Genocide" http://www.deathcamps.info/

Just my two cents: do what you like, but I don't think poking sticks at that sleeping dog is going to help us.
