Jim--
Not a direct answer to your question, but ....
Seems to me that stimulus discrimination training handles it adequately.
We have more practice in discriminating between members of our own ethic group, since we see more of them than we do members of other groups (at least when we're in the majority group). Hence more discrimination training and finer discriminations.
Prediction from this:
Members of minority groups who interact with more members of the majority group than their own should make finer discriminations between members of the majority group.
Data, anyone?

Yesterday my daughter asked me the technical term for thinking that
everyone in another ethnic group looks the same.  I assume there is a
term for it - but I don't know what it is.  Anyone?
