The tyra banks show explored the idea of racial prejudice that is learned at a young age. The kids were shown pictures of a black man and a white man and asked "which man would make a better president?" The kids responded by saying the "white man" would be a better president because he looked "smarter." This is clearly an example of how children of all races have either unconsciously or consciously learned through society/parents/media that the white man is better. However, the show tries to show that these stereotypes can be unlearned as well.
