25. i should also mention that the article doesn't so much mention
racism in the sense that another group is inferior, just that babies and kids very quickly put themselves into a group based on visual factors, and the most obvious visual factor is skin colour. until it is explicitly explained to them that its not something that matters, they will automatically discriminate based on this.

so the article also says that when a group of 4-5 year olds were given blue t-shirts and red t-shirts, they formed a much closer bond to the kids with red t-shirts and considered them more virtuous than the kids with blue t-shirts.
