mechinsim for association of normality or "us" does not mean "distrust" of "others". Nor does it mean racism. There is a very basic problem here, and that is the fact that a child has no idea who "he" is; something glossed over when talking about racies here in this first study you link to. 3 month old's stare at people who look like care givers, longer than people who do not look like care givers. It has nothing to do with race. If a white child is raised by black parents, that child will stare longer at black people, not white people.

I suspect, if a child is ONLY around women, it would not stare long at a man, because again, what motivates it, is the understanding that "this person aids me".
