I really enjoyed watching the “How Racist Are You?” video. I thought it was such a great social
experiment on how racism is portrayed and how many people simply don’t understand what it’s
like to be discriminated against. Racism is defined as the prejudice, discrimination, or
antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of
their membership in a particular ethnic group. The idea of racism, dates back to many ages ago,
and unfortunately is a still a big problem today.
While watching the video, I found myself to be in disbelief at times when the blue-eyed group
attempted to share their “similar” experience. It just showed how some of those people have
never been prejudiced a day in their life. I think people like to argue that they aren’t racist
because they simply don’t have a problem with one’s skin color, but fail to see the bigger
picture. You really cannot argue one’s personal experience. If you fail to see that person’s reality
and aren’t facing what they face on a daily, you are a part of the bigger problem. Our society is
in denial when it comes to racism and people tend to blame the victims on the receiving end.
We all have different experiences in our lives, but I think we need to do better in simply
understanding each other. I think the social experiment did a great job in attempting to put things
into perspective for the others. There are many people who simply just disregard you because
you haven’t lived the life THEY have lived and they don’t seem to realize that there is far more
going on in this world. I don’t have many personal experiences, but I have a spouse who has
been targeted before and has shared many stories with me on his experiences. I think we just
need to do better as a society and there is still a lot more work that needs to be done.
Unfortunately, the problem is still at hand.
