No it doesn't. A small amount of very flawed research did. If you smile more you may become happier. But this is because other people's reactions to you change if you smile or not. People being nice to you makes you happy, not your own smiling. Either way, how does that apply to racism? We've clearly seen that silencing racism does not make people less racist, it just makes them form little racist clubs to be racist in.
