US: New study: Black girls as young as 5 seen as less innocent than white peers
Atlanta Journal-Constitution – June 27, 2017
A study released today by Georgetown Law’s Center on Poverty and Inequality finds black girls are regarded as older and less innocent than white counterparts, a bias that particularly affects girls between the ages of 5 and 14.
