Williams Syndrome aka WS

I came across an article that talks about how there are a group of children or people that do not seem to form racial stereotypes about anyone. I first I found that highly impossible because everyone has some knows of some sort of stereotype about another culture or race. But they weren't talking about just any people. They were talking about specifically children. Children who have a neuro-developmental disorder called Willimas Syndrome are "overly-friendly" and does not "develop negative attitudes about other ethnic groups, even though they show patterns of gender stereotyping found in other children." Click the link to check out the article. It's pretty interesting.
