That sounds like some hard cope, as they say.

Nah, it's just bullshit. It's about 1.5-2.0 years for all babies. The concept of object permanence takes a while too. For example if a baby is playing with a ball and it rolls out of sight, poof!, it no longer exists, it's not just out of view.

It's just a BS study. For example:

"Once again, there was no sign of greeting or smiling when children viewed themselves in the mirror (as indicated by the coding of freezing behavior), as is the case in most young Western toddlers who do not pass the MSR test. The inhibition demonstrated by freezing of these children suggests that we may be assessing false negative responses to the test."

chirp!

I think SoTex is trying to imitate a ceiling bird.

Harvard:

The percentage of Black students in Harvard University's freshman class dropped by more than a fifth following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that barred colleges from using race as a factor in admissions, according to data released by the school on Wednesday.
The Class of 2028 is 14% Black, compared with 18% last year, Harvard said...

I suppose that is a rhetorical question?

And in Japan:
I offered an American some rice wine and he replied, "Negative on the saki." So I gave him a karate chop and said, "You do not joke about atomic bombing that way."

What's next, will folic acid be mandated in makers of breading for fried chicken?

Should be pretty easy to inject into watermelons, methinks.

Burn the coal pay the toll. Seams like it happens 99% of the time.

Pretty basic test that blacks fail so must be racist.

I believe this is the heart of the matter. The ancient Romans gave the Nordics the "angels" nomenclature based on appearance. Everyone envies the look of the blond blue eyed babes. Notice that the best looking Black or Hispanic women are those that have strong Caucasian features. Oriental women undergo surgery to round their eyes. Black women go to great lengths to straighten their hair.

Jaywalking is now legal in NYC because requiring people to use crosswalks is racist or something

Supporters of the law say people of color were unfairly targeted for jaywalking by police. City data shows police gave nearly 800 pedestrian-related summonses in the first six months of the year with 77% of them going to black or Hispanic people.
