What makes a child good? What makes a child bad? According to a new study, kids think that the color of their skin makes them good or bad.
Watch the video below and you can get an idea of how the survey went. I have a few issues with this:
1) It seems that some of these kids had recently studied Martin Luther King and are therefore a little pre-disposed to answering a certain way. One student even refers to MLK. For such a young age, I find this very interesting.
2) It seems like the people doing the survey would have mixed up the colors of the models instead of having them in a light-to-dark order. I wonder if their results would have been more varied this way.
3) The survey should have been very broad. How many students and in what locations were they studied? I think that would be an important part of a follow-up survey.
Watch it for yourself and make your own conclusions. It seems to be apparent that this should be studied even more!
