"hat simple act was sufficient to prime them with all the negative stereotypes associated with African Americans and academic achievement"

Yep, I heard about that study. There have been a few on the same theme. Similarly, when black students read a passage from a book by Ta Nehisi Coates their confidence in their ability to control their destiny decreased.

I'd be really interested to see studies like this on other groups. I'd love to see if the effect is pervasive, or if there needs to be a wider cultural effect before something so apparently minor can make a difference..
