Literally yes. They’ve done studies on newborns. Neurologically, they prefer their own race across multiple testing vectors. Racism is genetic. Nothing in culture can create it, only suppress it.
Good picture here of communist doublespeak being laundered.
1. The idea is introduced in a literal sense—your baby is racist—a shocking headline paired with some milquetoast speculation about the possibility of biologically innate race preference. Maybe even a little comforting, but just newspaper sensationalism, nothing more.
2. A few years pass and the presence of *engrained* race preference in children is rexamined and recontextualized as a social phenomenon. Your child is no longer a curious artifact of primitive biology, he is *participating* in a backward social structure. But there's nothing new to say, right? Your baby is racist. We already knew this.
3. More time passes and our privilege-preserving soft-handed treatment of embedded racism is outed as the true cause of structural racism. Your baby's very existence perpetuates an *entrenched* oppressive structure. But there's nothing new to discuss, again. It's been a part of our discourse for years now; you most not have been paying attention. *Your baby is racist.*
