There's racism everywhere at any time against anyone non-white. This video was kind of an eye-opener as to just how much one doesn’t notice when not exposed to it. I knew it was bad but seriously... one never thinks of one’s own privileges.
This woman working against racism, this amazing Jane Elliott, is nasty and crude but how else are you to force people to see what’s going on around them on a daily basis.
I agree with you- how she teaches is nasty. But that's what I deal with, in my every day life as a person of color in the US. and it is so true that I can't walk away from racism. I am who I am wherever I go. 24/7 and 365 days a year. Not just 90min or 1 day exercise in a classroom.
