It’s probably younger than you think.

Make no mistake about it, I am not calling children racist. Children are sponges and they have eyes. Because they have eyes, “some infants are aware of race,” and because they are sponges, “preschoolers may have already developed racist beliefs,” and this is according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
