>Even very young children are influenced by the culture around them, the scientists wrote, and studies in the 1980s and 90s found that, when given the choice, children of the same ethnicity preferred to play with one another rather than with kids from different ethnic groups. Unless a child has the rare genetic disorder Williams syndrome [http://www.livescience.com/8189-individuals-rare-disorder-racial-biases.html] http://archive.is/qLTcZ
, these preferences emerge by age 3 or so. The new study of French-Canadian and Asian-Canadian 3- to 5-year-olds finds similar results.

Racist Babies? Nine-Month-Olds Show Bias When Looking At Faces:
>Adults have more difficulty recognizing faces that belong to people of another race, and this deficit appears to start early.

>New research indicates that by the time they are 9 months old, babies are better able to recognize faces [http://www.livescience.com/14879-faces-races-alike.html] http://archive.is/HLcsr
and emotional expressions of people who belong to the group they interact with most, than they are those of people who belong to another race.

>"These results suggest that biases in face recognition [http://www.livescience.com/9054-imperfect-brain-cells-gender-biases.html] http://archive.is/KTbuw and perception begin in preverbal infants, well before concepts about race are formed. It is important for us to understand the nature of these biases in order to reduce or eliminate [the biases]," said study researcher Lisa Scott, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in a statement.

"Previous research shows people are less likely to feel connected to people outside their own ethnic groups, and we wanted to know why,"
says Gutsell. "What we found is that there is a basic difference in the way peoples' brains react to those from other ethnic backgrounds."

"More ethnically homogeneous nations are better able to build public goods, are more democratic, less corrupt, have higher productivity
and less inequality, are more trusting and care more for the disadvantaged, develop social and economic capital faster, have lower crime
rates, are more resistant to external shocks, and are better global citizens, for example by giving more foreign aid. Moreover, they are
less prone to civil war, the greatest source of violent death in the twentieth century."

"Policymakers have attempted to create communities where a diverse group of residents not only live close to one other but also
interact freely - in other words, neighborhoods that are both integrated and socially cohesive."
"The most integrated a neighborhood is, the less socially cohesive it becomes, and vice versa."
"It's not that local leaders and policymakers aren't trying hard enough. Rather, we now think it's because the goals of integration
and cohesion are just not compatible with each other."

"...the greater the diversity in a community, the fewer people vote and the less they volunteer, the less they give to charity and work on community projects.
In the most diverse communities, neighbors trust one another about half as much as they do in the most homogeneous settings... virtually all measures of civic health
are lower in more diverse settings."

"In conclusion, the totality of evidence clearly shows that ethnic diversity damages how well people get along,
how much they trust one another, and how satisfied they are with their lives. These findings should be kept in
mind when thinking about any form of racial diversity, regardless of the races involved."

"It has been shown that across Africa, areas with the highest concentrations of different ethnic and religious groups tend to be the areas with a history of the highest conflict, this being one of the classic pieces of evidence for 'realistic group conflict theory' (Sherif and Sherif, 1953; Struch and Schwartz, 1989)."

This paper looked at diversity and social capital across 40 regions in the US. After controlling for poverty,
crime, ect, it found that the more diverse a community was the less trust residents reported having in their
neighbors, the less people trusted local government and media, the less people voted, the less people gave to
charity, the less people worked on community projects, the fewer friends people had, and the less happy and
satisfied with their lives people were.

– “The Evolutionary Dominance of Ethnocentric Cooperation”

Recent agent-based computer simulations suggest that ethnocentrism, often thought to rely on complex social cognition and learning, may have arisen through biological evolution. From a random start, ethnocentric strategies dominate other possible strategies (selfish, traitorous, and humanitarian) based on cooperation or non-cooperation with in-group and out-group agents. Here we show that ethnocentrism eventually overcomes its closest competitor, humanitarianism, by exploiting humanitarian cooperation across group boundaries as world population saturates.
