they have a strong preference for facial features similar to that of their parents - i.e. people of their tribe.

I'm not espousing anything and in fact don't doubt that, but it's not exactly what I was referring to.

I should have been more specific. Are people born with hatred and fear(s)? That's not what I've observed in young children.

My observation as a father of three is that kids generally don't have much racial awareness until they get to about middle school age. I'm not saying they don't notice it at all, only that it doesn't seem to register in any way that would cause them to prefer one friend over another. Kids raised around bigots will of course pick up on differences much earlier. Kids hear more than you think. Same goes for other prejudices. Like snobby parents who classify everyone according to the car they drive, or the clothes they wear.

So exactly what "reality" do adults see in regards to race that children do not? The discussion was about segregated living so I can only presume you think that as we become adults we gain some knowledge and wisdom that tells us we should live seperate from another race. The point about children is that they are not full of all the bigoted crap our family and others fill our heads with. Not that they are some sort of pillar of wisdom.

"hate" in the context of group preference, is a modern cultural marxist construct that simply doesn't exist to anywhere near the degree they wish. There is a reason the endless witch hunt for racism has become the insane world of political correctness. As I've said elsewhere - the closest thing America has to a racial hate problem is the endless Mexican/Black conflict, which sadly has recently come to New York City. That is much more complex than "hate".

Anyway, children do in fact show fear of outsiders. A fact buried by the purveyors of political correctness is that the descendants of the aboriginal inhabitants of the European continent actually have the least affinity for "tribes" in comparison with other groups. The way this is primarily test is by observing the behavior of children when confronted with a person of a different ethnicity (not necessarily of a different race, mind you).

Of course, the simplest counter to your proclamation is that we've had nearly a half century of propaganda that has attempted to sway this behavior amongst the inhabitants of America starting at a very early age. They even used school busing to integrate the children. It has been a total failure.

The tabula rasa theory of human nature is bunk. There are no known examples of substantive reconditioning of humans away from the behaviors Cultural Marxists deem abhorrent. None. All we have are increasingly tyrannical and oppressive methods of control.
