Why wouldn't it be about whatever distinctions the kids can perceive cleanly dividing the group? I don't really know. Here are some Discover articles that are relevant and have different implications:
Williams syndrome children show no racial stereotypes or racial fear
They don't all look the same
Racial bias weakens our ability to feel someone else's pain
Probably using those one could backtrack and find the actual research and the citations from it, etc. From the first article:
Well, it was a good hypothesis. Not really sure what "signs of" means exactly.
My hypothesis is that which distinctions the kids find important are the result of adults' involuntary reactions to people from the various groups.
It's possible it is the result of multiple factors.
Inexposure leading to less ability to determine facial differences is a good guess. Glomming on to any difference regardless of culture is a good guess. Modeling adults is a good guess.
