Would the fact that they were exposed to the fact that everyone is pretty much the same remove the hate planted by ones environment in childhood?
Would having this study be considered unethical and damaging?
I have to come up with some sort of study for statistics(and actually do it), so I'd like some opinions to perfect this.
I think you are looking at this in the wrong way.
Racism occurs when people hate a certain group that is diferent from them in the aspect of race.
If you join that people over the internet what you will end up having is different groups hating eachother over diferent aspects. Yes it may "cure" racism but will generate other "ism".
Look at computer games for example. Good players hate bad players and if a good player is in team with a bad player you will end up with bad environment.
