i want a social experiment that explain why people need so many social experiments. is this video really what's going to make the big change? does it tell us anything new?

we already know the drill from dozens of other videos, some people go to protect the weak, some people go to back the strong, and most people do nothing. every video that tells us "we must do something about it" is doing what for their next video? a new social experiment. how about a video about good ways to help people dealing with racism like kids or the poor instead of another one of those videos?

What if the actor would not have been revealed to be an actor, she would have had to live with the shame of people hating her.

To be fair it's not a true experiment, it's just for a little light entertainment. And honestly? As a TV show imo it works, gave me a little boost and made me smile yknow?

I remember seeing this.
My favorite episode was the one where they had a guy just lay down in the street pretending to be dead.
Everyone just walked by except for a nice homeless woman who kept asking people to call an ambulance.

Saw another one where they saw what would happen when a grown man tried to harass a non English speaking woman and her nine year old daughter at a restaurant. I remember thinking "Why is nobody paying for their meal and dragging this dude outside to kick his ass?"

i can get that, but for me it only works in the first few videos. after that it just gets boring. but if you are watching it as light entertainment that's completly fine. i like man vs wild and for some reason can't get enough of it, but i can tell you it has no value.

not to say that this has no value, just that i want to see people doing more then making a video about testing out what happens. it seems their effort ends with social experiment videos and some articles about how wrong it is.

Considering it's an angsty Naruto forum, maybe quite a few.

Probably. There is a difference from those who stereotype, and those who are racist though(and not just on NB)

Just like you can stereotype about your own race, you can stereotype about other races without being racist.

Being racist, is about viewing, or treating someone else as being inferior, or treating or viewing a race as superior.
Most racist are also people who stereotype.

But not all people who stereo type are racist.


But that was a great video. It was a good presentation, that showed that racism/bigotry goes both ways.

The first lady, and the lady at the end, were great people. It is through people like them, that racism can become obsolete. People who may endure prejudice, but do not reflect that on others.

Overcomeing differences with people, is about moveing forward, and treating them the same as all other humans. To claim we are the same is to lie. People have different skins. Different viewpoints. Different tastes. Different languages. Different hobbies. Different hair eyes etc.

People are different. That is something that should always be respected.

Conflict breaks out, when someone puts someone down for being different, or when someone views him/herself as being a superior human due to difference.

You dont have to be colorblind for races to get along. Skin color is just a feature like your nose and hair and eye color. Just get along despite your differences.


From my experiance, people who run around calling x racist, are usually more racist themselves.(for example. If someone took a image at kfc or something, and there was a black person in it, the "anti racist" would call the photographer a racist, for haveing a picture of a black person eating fried chicken. Despite the fact that it is just a man eating chicken.

If the photographer said something along the lines of "look at that stupid *nword* eating that chicken" as a caption, then perhaps he might be racist.)

But we need more people like that woman at the end. We need people who share her viewpoint, on all aspects of life(politics viewpoints etc)(she really is such a great person)

Thanks for the video OP
