What I see in the video: Kids who use to get along and not care about race, have now been divided and started to resent each other. Great Job teachers!

[horseradish]

Notice how the kids were just all happily playing together as equals, not even noticing each other's ethnicity or gender.
Now half of them feel resentment and bitterness while half feels shame and guilt.

I'm black and appalled. You have crushed their spirits, made them feel like they will never get anywhere, and probably destroyed (or at least permanently dented) any interracial friendships in that group.😢

Disgusting.

The kid who said "this is a joke" was the smartest kid there.

[szapot]

The psychological damage being done to these children is sickening and unforgivable.

You didn’t end racism you started it!!! What school is this?

[AnotherMrLizard]

Imagine telling a child they should be ashamed of their skin colour. Disgusting.

This is actually a perfect representation of society. Everyone was fine, having fun and happily getting along with eachother and the teacher had to come in and say how dare you do this and tell them all they should instead be divided and hate one another for being different. Good job 👏

[ravian]

This is creating racism not ending it.

This is probably the most wicked class activity since the "brown eyes/blue eyes" experiment by Jane Elliot. Teaching kids not to hate each other by making them hate each other is evil beyond measure. The psychological effects of these kinds of activities last for years to come.

It's a "privilege" to speak your own language in your own country? What should they do?

[lord_haven]

This is precisely the opposite thing you should do to kids.

As an irish white kid growing up in an English inner city in the 1970s i can promise you i have never seen white privelege. Stop and search? I was stopped and searched just as much if not more than anybody else. I can honestly say i would have been at the back of that race😂. The middle and upper classes who design school curriculums really do not have a clue

[davidbobalik]

I came from a family of Eastern European immigrants. We did this exercise and there was me and a black kid in the very back who had only advanced 1 step from 10 questions and what made it worse was the teacher then accused me of lying. When she asked how we felt in the back she obviously didn't want to hear my answer but I told her I felt fine because my GGF who hardly spoke English taught me that no matter where I came from if I work hard, focus on my family, and make good choices I can be a success in life growing up in America.

[askquestions]

Parents really ought to pay closer attention to what their kids are taught.

[TheMadMonk]

This is brainwashing and should be classed as child abuse. Sickening behavior.

[AH-qmbg]

This backfired so badly I’m so glad the people think for themselves and stand up for justice and truth

[jakerigby]

A good exercise to make half the class feel angry and half feel guilty.
