Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both majority and minority children express in-group favoritism, according to research on child development and social identity. This is seen in various studies that have investigated racial and ethnic prejudice among children, showing that they tend to show preference and positive attitudes towards members of their own group, while showing negative attitudes towards members of other groups. This tendency becomes more pronounced with age, as children become more conscious of their social identity and group membership.
