Obviously. White isn't inherently better then black. There is no reason to choose one over the other. Therefore it is a result of society.

Racism?

Grow up in an inner city environment, you'd pick the white doll too.

Kids arent being taught this. Its the stereotype of the blk man being mean and non-complient with the law and other things. You watch the news and all you see or hear is about a suspect being saught by police or the perp actually doing the crime is blk. You watch survelliance tapes on the news of someone committing a robbery, they are blk. You watch prison shows on tv the majority of inmates are blk. So yea, i guess I can see why they would say that blk means bad and white means good.
