Perspective.

Have you ever wondered how we learn about race or where our perceptions and understandings about race, racial differences, and racial problems come from? More specifically, what do white parents teach, or not teach, their children about race? And just how all of that goes into how white kids come to see black and brown people as different? On today’s Perspective, some thoughts and answers from a study of white children in upper-middle-class white families in a medium-sized mid-western city…thoughts and answers that may surprise you.  Guest: Margaret Hagerman, an assistant professor of Sociology at Mississippi State University.
