AC360° Doll Study Revisited: Girl calls her skin “nasty”

This article about the "AC360 ° Doll study" says that among the 130 children who were interviewed for this test halfwere African-American and half were white, half were in the north and half  in south. This study was based on asking the children a series of questions about five cartoon dolls that had different skin tones. The results ofthis test were surprising, white-skinned children have an attachment to their own color and black-skinned children likewise have bias toward white.

These children are marginalized because of the opinion of the rest,and like this girl, in the world there are many people who live tormented because they do not like their skin color, eyes, hair, culture etc. But all this would be different if only man knew how to respectthe cultures of other people, each person was born different and that makes her/him special, a child finds it difficult to see this because it has not known beyond their home and / or his people.
Inaddition that the African-American children feel marginalized, they have no education or the opportunities than those in North America have. They saw that in other countries people have...
