Basically what I'm saying (in the notes over there) is that the "experiment" shows either too little or too much to make any rational conclusion. First of all, the "good child" she picked just because she thought it was the most like her... because of the format she's limited to, what else would she do besides pick the most different thing for the bad/mean child? Not to mention when you're talking about such general features and asking a child to give you an answer (presumably so you can draw all kinds of spectacular conclusions), they're probably going to answer what they think is 'right'.
I see people with gross tans and I make judgements about them. I see people with mullets and make judgements about them. The real issue is what these judgements ARE, because the stickiness is in believing that some people are 'worth' less than others.
