The stereotype that associates being “brilliant” with White men more than White women is shared by children regardless of their own race, finds a team of psychology researchers. By contrast, its study shows, children do not apply this stereotype to Black men and women.
“Among adults, gender stereotypes apply differently to men and women depending on their race,” explains Andrei Cimpian, an associate professor in New York University’s Department of Psychology and the senior author of the study, which appears in the Journal of Social Issues. “That’s why it is important to consider how gender and race intersect when examining children’s gender stereotypes about intellectual ability.
“Our research indicates that the stereotype associating brilliance with White men more than White women is likely widespread — but also that children acquire no such stereotype about Black men and women. In fact, they may see Black women as more likely to be brilliant than they do Black men.”
Previously, Cimpian and his colleagues found that, by the age of 6, girls become less likely than boys to associate brilliance with their own gender and are more likely to avoid activities said to require brilliance.
These results showed that, overall, children associate White men, more so than White women, with brilliance. The researchers also compared White children’s responses with those of children of color (primarily Latinx, Black, and Asian) and found that they were largely in agreement on this topic.
However, children’s views about the intellectual abilities of Black men and Black women were quite different. In fact, the researchers found, children generally see Black men as less brilliant than they do Black women.
How are shitlibs going to spin this as "systemic racism," or whatever anti-white term they're using to describe reality these days?
It's odd that studies like this are even conducted. Like, what exactly is the point of asking 6-year-old black kids to pick what race they associate genius with?
The "libs are the real racists" is a gotcha phrase, but it's also true. Right-leaning people would never say, "let's show a bunch of 6-year-old black children pictures of white men and black men and then ask them who they think is smarter." I mean, children haven't been indoctrinated by the social-engineers of liberal democracy yet, so they're just going to call it like they see it (unlike their adult counterparts, who lie -signal- on the premise of conformity).
Imagine showing pictures of a house cat and a mountain lion and asking children which one looks more dangerous, then spinning it in a way that society has some kind of fundamental flaw because children are able to observe exactly what they've evolved to observe.
The concept of brilliance as a racial component is nuanced when presented to children as a "lets show the world what racism looks like." But imagine if your survival depended on you choosing the brilliant picture. Would you choose the white man?
Inquiring minds want to know.
