If you identify with someone from another race, you become less racist. Natalie Sebanz, associate professor in CEU's Department of Cognitive Science, came to this conclusion by making it happen, in research published in the August 2013 edition of Cognition. Light-skinned participants were shown a dark-skinned hand, and with their own hand hidden from view, they began to feel the dark-skinned hand was their own. Racial bias dropped after the participants felt this identifying experience.
