Red Lion Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) So I watched the thing in part. I don't think telling me what I already know and have heard repeated ad nauseum is going to make me unlearn racism. Showing us Marcus the blue pill learning things we went over in 6th grade is not the same as exposing us to diverse people and building our tolerance through that  exposure. This thing is condescending, the information is very basic and black and white. Frankly if Marcus the blue pill isn't still in elementary school then he's kind of an idiot for not knowing this shit already and I don't think we can help him unlearn racism, we need to work on helping him learn to walk and chew gum at the same time first IMO. I also resent the fact that this thing seems to think everyone who sees it is either a five year old or really fucking stupid....and white. Gonna just say it, this thing is aimed at white people and it's pretty obvious,  I also find it a little hypocritical that it talks about stereotypes then uses them in the images. Am I really not supposed to read Marcus as black? He's a darker shade of blue than the other pill creatures, named Marcus and has his hat turned sideways ( THE STEREOTYPING). You can't convince me this wasn't done on purpose so that they can address their assumed white audience with the words "He's just  like you...full of junk and misinformation"  and squeeze out an extra heavy handed "unlearn racism" bonus. This video is manipulative and frankly quite useless. Edit: Yeah I realize this is made for kids but even kids deserve more credit than this video is giving them. Also what kid is going to say they're "A lot" racist? Edited December 8, 2015 by Red Lion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just takes someone to step out and assess what's right and wrong. That said I need to check that link when I get the chance Need to know what everyone's going on about, aha! Xenophobia is a core facet of the human condition. It's a survival instinct. Without it, your ancestors probably would have been effortlessly steamrolled by a far more aggressive and intolerant tribe. While its prevalence and intensity probably varies between individuals (and by extension between human populations), I don't think any human on Earth can reasonably assert that they are not--to some degree--racist or xenophobic. If they are, they're either telling a whopper of a fib, they're a genetic anomaly that natural selection would have tossed into the genetic rubbish heap during humanity's more uncivilized days, or they're afflicted with William's syndrome. Now, this is a personal anecdote so its validity will naturally be questionable, but no one socialized me to become anxious around folks who don't share my racial background. It just happens. And I can't make these feelings go away no matter how much I try. Suppress them perhaps, but I can never remove them--and believe me, I wish dearly that they weren't so potent in their manifestation. Being the genetic byproduct of two dauntingly altruistic, accepting, and compassionate progenitors has a way of making one quite permitting of all different kinds of people of all colors, stripes, shapes, and sizes by default---but this doesn't mean that I'm looking to suffer the presence of a sea of foreigners within my immediate vicinity. It's kind of why I don't want Syrian refugees in the US at all. I don't hate Syrians, but I'm well aware of what sort of behavior that they've been engaging in during their stay in Europe. I'd prefer it if they kept to their own lands.
