Revisiting Baby Racism

“Last week, the Internet lit up upon the release of a University of Massachusetts — Amherst study that found white 9-month-old babies were worse than white 5-month-old babies at telling apart African-American babies.”
 — I don’t know how I missed this Internet conflagration last week, but I am thankful to whatever animating spirit helped it pass me by. In any event, if you’re scoring at home, babies are not racist, according to the researcher who conducted the study. Dogs, on the other hand, are still guilty of anti-Semitism.
