You know what chap, I was reading this thread and there you were again, spouting false crap about the UK, as you have done in several other threads.
Are you just here to troll and cause annoyance?
How can you be arrested for free speech in the UK? The only time you'll be nicked is if you try to incite racial or religious violence. And there are no "watchlists". There's so much wrong with your view of the UK that I don't really know where to begin.
Anyway, lets stop the silly wang measuring game....
That’s because new studies have found that by this age—three months—many babies start to prefer faces of people from their own race to those of another race. This early favoritism may represent the first glimmers of racial prejudice, psychologists say.
But don’t start fretting about racist babies yet. On the bright side, researchers also found that babies raised with frequent exposure to people of other races don’t develop this early bias. This discovery may help guide future research on how to counter racism, they suggested.
“Early preferences for own-race faces may contribute to race-related biases later in life,” psychologists wrote in a paper on a study published in the February issue of the research journal Psychological Science. Typically, “by the age of 4 to 6 years, children already display racial stereotyping and prejudice in a variety of contexts.”
