Study on Lingering Race Fear
MSNBC has an interesting article on race based on a recent Science paper. The article discusses fear of others from a different "race". There is some discussion of race as a recent phenomenom developing in the last 100-200,000 years. The good news? Much of the fear seems to be social, with lower levers of fear among those involved in interracial relationships. The researchers offer a guess that much of our fear stems from suspicion of strangers from outside of our group.
