I think you two are on the same page but he worded it poorly. Yes, all the research showing negative outcomes with viewing Black youth as older is out of implicit biases programmed in us in the US thanks to our history and modern day stereotypes, not anything inherent. If we grew up in a society free of said biases and stereotypes, we wouldn't tend to overestimate Black youths' ages.
