Colorblindness, part 2.
This article is a few years old, but it reports a "study finds that adults view [African American girls] as less child-like and less in need of protection than their white peers."
Similar had already been found about black boys. An earlier Atlantic article says, "Asked to identify the age of a young boy that committed a felony, participants in a study routinely overestimated the age of black children far more than they did white kids...Cops did it, too."
I'm not sure I trust claims of colorblindness.
