I find it hard to believe that you don't understand the point of the experiment. The issue at hand was whether or not African-American children (negros back then - this is 1938 we're talking about, concurrent with Adolf Hitler arguing you could tell a Jew by the size of his nose) felt themselves inferior to white children. The fact you want to see whether or not kids feel inferior or superior to green children illustrates that you're either trolling or clueless. I have no skin in the game. I'm just relaying fundamental experiments hallowed in Psych 101 classes for the past 70 years. But I'm frankly astonished by your steadfast insistence on the outright invalidity of the data.
