Humans have a complex history of great community, but also we kill other humans… A lot. Others are dangerous by default.
Why young children assign better attributes to some dolls regardless of their own culture may be an open question, but colors likely have their own bouba/Kiki effect.
Not sure about the Bouba/Kiki effect. It could be a thing, although it’d surprise me. 2-3 year olds already learned a lot from their parents. 3 month olds are most likely to be less primed by their parents, and a bias towards their own race is not very surprising and doesn’t imply racism imo.
I didn’t find a study, and also I’m assuming you’re talking about the US Gov NCBI, which I’m skeptical towards these days, since Trump declared DEI illegal.
