Why ignore the massive pink elephant in the room??? Wouldn't the answers to these be based on the child's experiences? These are kindergarten-aged children, all in public schools, according to the CNN article. If the children are in schools where there are a higher percentage of smart white kids and a higher percentage of mean black kids (and let's be honest, that probably describes, oh, 80-100% of the public schools in Georgia), then of course they'd answer this way, without any parental influence whatsoever. I don't think this reveals anything besides the existing socioeconomic issues in our country. (I'm guessing that the black kids' lesser bias toward whites is because black parents are far more likely to talk with their kids about being proud of their own race than white kids' parents.)
