Default A Class Divided

This is a really old documentary about discrimination and I thought it was really interesting. The first three parts are about the experiment being done on children in the 60s (whether it's acceptable to put children through that is questionable but they all learned and in the reunion in part three seemed to have taken a lot from it).

If you don't want to watch it all, Parts 4, 5 and 6 show the experiment being done on adults. And it's pretty amazing what they can be convinced of.

Part One:

Yeah one person uploaded up to the end of part 4, and someone else uploaded 5 and 6 to make it complete.

If you skip to 4.30 in part 5 then you get to the end of part 4.

i get the message and i think they are pathetic for thinking in any small way eye colour matters and it really shows how meaningless skin colour is.

discrimination is pathetic anyway. i think the best bit was in part one when the kids were coming out with all the negative words then they told blue eyed kids aer the better and they are just stunned

it really hit them how quickly a discrimination can hit you
