I randomly had a flashback of this show, and managed to find it on Youtube. It's basically a show based on a woman, Jane Elliot's exercise to show other white people what it's like to be treated as subordinate. She did this with her class in the 60s, by separating blue and brown eyed children (Green and blue from brown). It showed how the blue-eyed children were treated badly and the brown-eyed were treated how people should be treated, maybe even a little extra things.

She then does this like 40 years later with adults to see what it's like. It's so bad, that one woman (who's a teacher) said that "I was surprised to see pink underneath when she cut herself.". I was sitting there thinking "It's called flesh and blood. Get over it.".

I wanted to know if anyone else has seen or heard of this show, out of curiosity.

I thought this was an actual question to us lol.

Anyway, no I never saw it but it sounds interesting, and a good idea of a show

Feel free to contact me!

^^^ Same here, I have no idea what you are talking about but I want to answer the title question. I am alot more racist then I should be. I am not racist towards a specific person, rather a streotype. Like "white trash", illegal immigrants, and so forth. I may be racist towards some "types" of colored people but that doesn't mean I dislike everyone of that certain race.

I've seen it in history last year yes. It was very interesting to see how quickly friends and classmates turned on one another.

Racism is a natural thing believe it or not. We beat down on other people because of what we see in them. For some people that thing that we see is race and race only. It's not socially acceptable, but it's natural and has occurred throughout history.

Black/White is not the only kind of intolerance that has happened throughout history.

I'm blue-eyed... :(

I've never seen the show. Maybe I should watch it one day.

Not an actual show. Just a relatively short video experimenting with prejudice in children in a classroom

True, it's more of a one off documentary.
