There was a study done half a century again that helped overrule Plessy vs Fergussen in the US Supreme Court. The study was doen on mostly black school children and some white school children. They were shown several dolls and asked several questions. Something like:
1) Which one do you like?
2) Which one is pretty?
3) Which one is ugly?
4) Which one is a boy?
5) Which one is a girl?
For all the questions except for #3, they chose white dolls. With that data in mind, the supreme court ruled that segregation of public facilities was unconstitutional. I think the children's minds were set to like white dolls because white people had better lives then. It can still be the same case. Maybe black people are more attracted to white people than white people being attracted to black people?
