The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has awarded over $40,000 for New York University (NYU) researchers to conduct a study on why children "favor Whiteness and maleness over other identities."
The project titled, "Societal assumptions regarding typical personhood and their effects on reasoning development," seeks to uncover the developmental processes by which children "acquire the belief that White males represent the default person – a pattern rooted in the ideologies of androcentrism (centering the experiences of men) and ethnocentrism (centering the experiences of White people) prevalent in the United States," according to the grant summary on USASpending.gov.

Read last five centuries of Western history with an open mind and without pre-conceived bias. You will have your answers. Hint - how many Nobel prizewinners are white male vs black female?

Duh. Because we built a wild frontier into the world's major superpower. We moved it forward from handmade farm implements to robotics. We built that when everybody else was throwing spears at each other and worshiping stars, moons and planets.

How about STOP SPENDING MY MONEY on this insane irrelevant cr*p! And talk about self-perpetuating one's own job!! But that's what bureaucrats do, isn't it? Usually not so in your face about it, though.....

And then some of our disfavored identity groups can take a clue and start acting as desirable role models.

How about a dash of truth about this grant?
Note that there is pre-doctoral mentoring of the recipient on developing research skills.
Translation - too many black doctoral students in the social sciences are not good students - good meaning that they are learning, writi9ng well, and can articulate what their studies are about. Some of those students 'mau mau' their way through their coursework, bullying their professors and administrators, and wind up with a doctorate that is of little achievement. (A black doctoral student at my university, 40 years ago, an affirmative action admit, demanded that the Dean of Graduate Studies provide a person to do her dissertation writing. The logic she offered was that she should not have been admitted to our university, but since she was admitted to our university, that created the obligation of the university to make sure she graduated with her doctorate. The university president agreed with her, and her dissertation was written by an Assistant Dean of Graduate Studies.)

I could use $40K to study why
HHS DIS-favors Whiteness and Maleness.
But, first I would, of course, need $500K to define "Whiteness".
But, even before that I would need another $500K to define "Maleness".
People who don't know what a woman is,
should probably not just assume they know what a male is...

I wonder who built the building they sit in, invented and built the car they drive in, paved the roads they dove on, started the University, and produced the wealth that funded it... I wonder if the people who laid the foundation and did the work that makes this possible for them had anything in common...

That $40K is enough to fly in a bunch of "Experts", buy lunch and after a few adult beverages come to the conclusion that being a white male is bad. The world is a big place populated mostly by non-white people. Americans should feel free to go to anywhere they want that has no whites nor men.

Why don't you go study whether children in Ghana or Congo favor blackness and maleness? I think that answer might explain a lot of things to you.

Majority bias.
If they were to do the same study in Japan, it would favor Japanese. In Korea, it would be Korean.
In China the results would favor Han Chinese. In humans the male is the larger, stronger, more aggressive problem-solver of the species.

Do you mean that the majority of television ads featuring Blacks, Hispanics, Asians and women plus white men being the dufus aren't working?

Do a 'surprising' study of which race doesn't contribute or do jacksprat for society and the United States. Let's get real about who contributes and forget spending grants to debunk CRT that's what you will find out don't spend a dime.

Let's say we have a bag of M&Ms in which 61.6% of the candies are orange. If we then emptied the bag into a bowl and asked people to comment on the contents, it's likely most would mention that orange seems to be the predominant color. But does that mean orange is the "favored" color or that Orange Supremacy or Orange Privilege are somehow responsible?

If White people disappeared from America tomorrow, Black people would be burning the furniture in New York City skyscrapers this winter to keep from freezing to death.

This problem is easily solved. I have a Modest Proposal. Just kill them all. Easy. It's what the Left wants anyway. Oh, with exceptions for the "good" white males who constantly apologize for committing the cardinal sin of being born white & male.

more division of our system provided by two very closed and anti-inclusive societies, Soviet Russia and The People's Republic of China, where emigration and acceptance is not an option for non-natives, except ... when they need something from said emigrants and then when they get what they want, it's off to the wastelands of anonymity, never to be heard from again

Lets see, White kids are less likely to beat you up in the bathroom. They are less likely to steal your bike or your football or your skateboard. They are less likely to "hold" your lunch money. The list of reasons not to favor black kids is endless. Of all the schools I went to growing up, the best academically and the safest were all white. The worst were inner city ghetto schools.

Thank you, #6. We all know the general trend and most people fear being called a racist but real world examples like yours put things into perspective; it's worse than we thought. How many incidents like the one you described occur in academia, the business world and government on a daily basis so as not to "offend?"

Because it is obviously how things have been ACCOMPLISHED. The overwhelming majority of technical, literary and artistic achievements in the world have been accomplished by white males.
Hard facts.
Screetch and whine, complain and moan......and the facts remain unchanged.
And screetching and whining are NOT accomplishments, and none of the current crop of sad, stupid affirmative action idiots are accomplishing anything except destruction.
