An interesting new Paper just got released:

TL.DR version: First they did a test which tells how big your bias towards a race is. After that they used the Oculus Rift and motion tracking to give your avatar the opposite skin color of what you have in RL. After that they repeated the test again and the results where less biased. They did similar experiments with male and female and got similar results.
Does this mean you could combat intolerance with it? Also imagine the games that could be programmed.
