Researchers are using their results as a call to action to encourage adults to address their own biases. BlackLivesMatter
There is no doubt that society still has a long way to go until we reach a point where racial biases are non-existent. And unfortunately,has confirmed that, yes, black girls do face more discrimination than white girls—as young as five years old.
This study from Georgetown Law’s Center on Poverty and Inequality found that black girls are perceived as “less innocent” than female classmates of other ethnicities. The study defined “less innocent” as “lack of worldliness and need for protection.” While there have been previous studies looking at the way black boys are perceived, this one is the first of its kind.
The researchers also found that black girls are perceived to be more mature than white girls. To get these results, they surveyed 325 adults of various racial and ethnic backgrounds , as well as varying educational levels across the United States. Through a nine-item questionnaire, participants were asked how often they thought black females and white females ages 0 to 19 seemed older than their age, how much they needed to be comforted and how much they knew about sex.
While this study is depressing, the researchers are using their results as a call to action, to get people talking about this issue, to make adults address their own biases and to encourage black girls, especially, to speak up about the negative stereotypes put upon them.
