Adults perceive black girls as less innocent and more adult-like than white ones, a new study found.
The Georgetown Law report, Girlhood Interrupted: The Erasure of Black Girls’ Childhood, expands on a 2014 study on adult perceptions of black boys. But the new study differs in how it examines adults’ views on black girls and innocence.
“What we found is that adults see black girls as less innocent and less in need of protection as white girls of the same age,” Rebecca Epstein, lead author of the report and executive director of Georgetown Law’s Center on Poverty and Inequality said in a statement.
This is kind of obvious if you just listen to black people.
