This topic demands detail, as grey areas/smudging the issue has been happening ever since the fight against racism began. I'm not skeptical. I never doubted the FOCUS of this study, which (to me) seemed to be about people minimizing their reactions to racism and the social workings of 'us versus them' social pressure therein. I do find it curious that anyone would think that these findings are at all a shock. "how would I react...well I'd stand up for the other person"...yeah...you'd like to think that you would, but you'd really try to minimize the situation, or would fail to act because you wouldn't be prepared to pass a 'test' on it. (not you TB...well...maybe...but i sincerely doubt it) Of course in a land where more often than not the distinction is white/non-white, the issue if big. It's all but totally ruined the stereotypical distinctions between ethnic, cultural, and racial groups. I wonder what kind of an impact Star Wars, and a lesser degree, Star Trek, LOTR and other SF (Supposed fiction...fantasy, science fiction) movies, TV, and stories has had on young people. Seeing so many different kinds of 'people' with vast differences between them, interacting and working together happily or otherwise.
