I ain't Ben, but I still got a question for your question.

Change what exactly? The perception of 5 y/o's? Or the experiences had by 5 y/o's that contribute to those perceptions? Because those are two incredibly different things.

See, me & SD don't always agree on some stuff, but I'm still awfully confident in saying this: If SD were raising the majority of black kids that the surveyed 5 y/o's had encountered in their lifetimes, you'd see a shift in the numbers. The aforementioned color-sorting mice effect would still very likely skew the numbers toward like/like but nothing as high as what the studies always seem to show.
