This just says babies were more interested in others that looked more like them. None of this implies racism.
Its just click bait.

Many of the comments after the article are common sense observations. I wonder how those doing the study didn't consider them. Looking for racism where there is none.

I think the first two replies summarize it well:
"Babies are familiar with the way their parents look, and so are drawn to individuals with characteristics similar to their parents I.e. race, hair color, etc. not because they dislike other races, but it is what they are familiar with and what bares closest resemblance to the individuals they depend on, their parents"
"A 6-9 month old baby has no idea about its own race, so it's unlikely it will "demonstrate racial bias in favor of its own race." These babies only have a bias/preference for what they know and trust."

Yea. I dont think a baby is trying to figure out in the mirror if he has andid traits and associate himself with others that way. First person baby knows is the parents and the doctor that smacked its butts. So it will want to associate with things more similar to its parents which nuture and show love to it

Sweden already did a more in depth study on this, you can find it on science daily, then the Times picked it up and ran with it. Their conclusion was basically the same, babies divide themselves among racial lines. The title should be "babies are tribal by nature"

I'm curious what the results would be for a baby adopted since birth by parents of a different race than its own.
