Not sure about the Bouba/Kiki effect. It could be a thing, although it’d surprise me. 2-3 year olds already learned a lot from their parents. 3 month olds are most likely to be less primed by their parents, and a bias towards their own race is not very surprising and doesn’t imply racism imo.
I didn’t find a study, and also I’m assuming you’re talking about the US Gov NCBI, which I’m skeptical towards these days, since Trump declared DEI illegal.
The post doesn’t scream “I’m guessing”, it says it.
Can you point me to a study showing babies are racist then?
They will certainly have a harder time judging people by their skin color.
However many racist people aren’t actually confronted with “foreigners” a lot. So I guess blind people can perfectly be racist about someone’s accent or form racist opinions just by the discourse around them and the news they consume.
Babies aren’t born racist, it’s something you learn. So my guess is blind people are pretty close to the average, maybe a little less.
re: applying for jobs
Not criticizing your use to write your CV specifically.
But in general, I wonder where this arms race is going? Companies using AI to pre-filter applications, because they get too many. Applicants then using AI to write their CVs, because they have to apply so many times, because they automatically get rejected.
Basically in the end the entire process will be automated, and there won’t be any human interaction anymore… just LLMs generating and choosing CVs. Maybe I’m too pessimistic, but that’s the direction we’re headed in imo.
+1 for the Niagara Launcher. Cleanest launcher I’ve found during 4 years of Android usage.
Hello from Switzerland 👋
Agree with all the other comments, that’s just manipulative. I guess he’s also hurt, but that doesn’t excuse his behavior. I’ve also been hurt in the past and I understand the impulse to lash out, but it doesn’t lead anywhere if you do, so… better keep your distance.
