How Diversity is Taking Its Toll on Children’s Friendships

By 24 months of age, over 70% of white children recognize themselves in a mirror. At 24 months, only 4% of African children recognize themselves, and Latin children around 30% or less. Many African children did not recognize themselves even at 72 months. Self-recognition tests have been done on animals, chimps, orangutans, dolphins, and elephants. They can all pass the test at higher rates than African children – and yet we are told that the only difference is “skin color.” Another absurdity of egalitarianism.
