Here's an interesting video I saw today on Reddit. It is about a teacher teaching third graders about discrimination by giving benefits to kids with a certain eye color.
Just thought I'd share it with the community.

It was an interesting experiment. I remember giving that one a read. It is def a good insight.
Jane Elliot has been doing this for decades. Here's one workshop she did in the UK in 2010 (Part 1 of 3):
And here's another workshop she did in the US in 2001 (Full):
She did the same experiment on oprah's show using adults that silenced the crowd after she revealed her intentions.
You cared enough to post.
I read a long article on this experiment, its an amazing experiment and one of my personal favorites.
By lunchtime, the term 'brown eyes' had turned into such an insult, that it resulted in violence...damn those fucking blue eyes oppressing us brownies.
Interesting video, thanks for the link. Ill watch those other ones she did that Slybak linked.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Great experiment. Love how quick the reaction was when they suddenly realized - Would you like to try this? Yeah! ...wait.
The really important part for me, was when the adults watching stopped laughing. They sobered up very quickly.
