First of all, research has shown that the school setting is not a  WHY DO I LIKE YOU? LET ME LIST THE REASONS melting pot where children interact as readily with members of other ethnic groups as they do with their own. Years after formal school integration, there is little social integration. The students clot together ethnically, separating themselves, for the most part, from other groups (Dixon et aI., 2005; Oskamp ~ Schultz, 1998). Second, even if there were much more interethnic interaction, research shows that becom- ing familiar with something through repeated contact doesn't necessarily cause greater liking (Gaertner et aI., 1999). In fact, continued exposure to a person or object under unpleasant conditions such as frustration, conflict, or competition leads to less liking (Richeson ~ Shelton, 2007; Swap, 19n; Zajonc, Markus, ~ Wilson, 1974). The typical American classroom fosters precisely these unpleasant conditions.
