“The goal of the study was to find out at which age infants begin to show racial bias,” Lee said. Two new University of Toronto studies suggest racial bias can develop in babies at an early age — before they’ve even started walking. We look longer at things we fear, we look longer at things we like. Lee said he has been trying for nearly 10 years to organize a study looking at babies born into mixed-race families. When it comes to parents who want to try to eliminate racial bias from a young age, Lee says exposure is key.
