If genes factor into what we call race then it does have definitional power. By virtue of that fact, races are defined by genetic information and must therefore have the same cutoff points one would see amongst different animals.
Not surprised by the infant example, an infant would seek any person that most resembled its parents.

Toddlers are "racists" because they are predisposed to playing with children who look like them. Yeah, no. It's stupid to cite the psychological attractiveness of being surrounded by people who look like you. Toddlers being "racist" says more about the trials of multiracial societies which may /may not be overcome or be redeemable(racism certainly doesn't help) than with definitional knowledge articulated through genetic information. Yes, meeting different-looking people challenges us.(cont'd)

Let me get your "I would hang out with a black guy, but that does not make me … I have a preference for my own race, and so … in my view it is natural" argument straight.
You're saying that every single time you find yourself in a situation where you're interacting/socializing with a black person, the idea that "I'd rather be doing this with a white guy, but oh well" flits through your head?
If I'm right, then I and most reasonable people can assure you that THIS IS NOT AT ALL NATURAL.

@spawktalk, you are neglecting the fact that exposure to heavy metal and rap music causes genetic regression by instilling hate, evil, and depression into listeners. This, in turn, will cause people to become hateful, evil, and generally unmotivated, resulting in poor life choices and low income. These attributes will be passed on to offspring throughout the course of their upbringing. It makes a good case to listen to fun, up-beat music by artists like The Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus!

@socrates856 I proposed familiarity with their care taker as an explanation in my video. I said that whether or not it was caused by familiarity or genes more directly was unclear. Like I said in my video though, I think either option is "natural" in an important sense of the word.
