Another episode of ABC 20/20: What Would You Do?

Hey all!

I was looking at some other clips of "ABC 20/20 What Would You Do?", and I came across this:

We watched a lot of clips about African-Americans and the racism they have to deal with everyday, but we did not see anything about other minority groups. This one is about hate crimes towards Latinos/Latinas in the United States, and I just thought it would be interesting to take a look at it as well.

Also, I found this:

I liked this clip because it showed a European side to racism -- we should not forget that racism exists everywhere in the world and everyone (no matter what country they come from) get affected by it daily.

And this:

This clip is supposed to be funny, but I think it does a great job of showing what I was talking about with someone else in the class -- that minority groups sometimes belittle others in their own group. I wasn't quite sure why they did that -- what do you guys think?

And finally:

I just thought this clip was interesting, and I liked that he mentioned that racism is just a mentality of "Us vs. Them" which extends to religion, political ideologies, nationality, ideals, etc. The beginning of the video reminded me of what Johnson said on page 62-63: "You can see the race troubles for whites in the toll it takes on moral integrity, because racism require hypocrisy toward deeply held cultural values of fairness, decency, and justice. You can see it in the angry, wishful naïveté of "I don't see color. I don't see race.""
