  1. Wow! When I saw this video I thought about 2 things: the intelligence of this people and the racial discrimination we are going through even today. To me this experiment is very useful and very informative. This will show people what some different people have to go through.

  2. When I saw the video i thought many things, but the important was that I can't believe that there are more bad people than good people. The bad people in this case always think superior than others because they always think in themseleves and that there is only and always be one race- white. The good people cares for the other races, not theirselves. I find that super important in our lives.

  3. I can’t believe what I just saw, because if I would’ve been there I would’ve fight for my rights and tell them how I fell and get out of there with my pride. I think this experiment is awesome because it will teach the racist people something. I hope this experiment continues. WOW I am still surprise because I live in a bubble.

  5. This is just unbelievable because if I would have been discriminated I would have gotten really angry and I would leave because I just can't stand people that are racist. Those people don't have a good heart because God wants us to treat each other like brothers and sisters that we are. Even now as you can see in this video people don't understand that we are a family everyone in the world. Ana García Roig 7B-2

  6. OMG!! I agree with all of you. People don't think before opening their mouth. Valentina, I totally agree with you because people should fight for their rights but it is also hard because you get to a point were you feel inferior.

  9. I didn't know that racial discrimination still exists now a days! There isn't only discrimination about skin color but on nationallity, and that is actually really sad. Its not even fair! What does it matter where are we from? Or what color we are? What matters is inside and everyone should know that.

  10. When, I saw this video, I was surprised because there still are people that are racist not only for the color of their skin but for nationality. I think that it doesn't matter where you are from or what color you are what matters is your inside not what you have on your outside.

  11. I think each person should fight for what they believe in. There should not be any more racial discrimination and the person who does it is very wrong. Nobody should be discriminated for there race everybody is human!

  12. This article mentions an on-line psychology test that helps people find out if they are biased. It says that people do not like to admit they are prejudiced and that many of their decisions may be based on unconscious preferences. A lot of things have changed since the period of great racial discrimination in American history. We like to think that racism no longer exists today and that everyone is treated equally and with respect, but people are still discriminated, based on their gender, race, age, etc. in their jobs and other aspects of their daily life. For this to change people have to begin judging others for what they really are and not for the age, gender or racial group they belong to.

  13. I think everybody is the same and don’t deserve to be discriminated by their race. We only have something different the race all the rest we are identical.

  14. I think that there are more bad people than good people. People should not discriminate others because of their race, color or origin. We all should be treated the same way because we are alll equals.

  16. I cannot believe we are still going through racial discrimination. First, when I saw this video I felt so bad I wanted to cry. Second, every one should be treated fairly because we are all living thing with the same needs. Finally, we should learn how the African American felt during discrimination, and we should all stop. We should live in peace around the world.

  17. When I saw this video, I felt shocked because I didn't know that those types of disscrimination still occurs. Actually, is really unfair that someone doesn't want to attend you just because you don't speak english. We should forget about differences between us and be nice with everybody, living in a world of peace and love.

  18. WOW! From this video I can see the two types of people there are in this world, people that discriminate people like the person is nobody and people who can't stand the people that discriminate. At first I was very mad because the man was so mean that he was yelling the poor man to leave and he wouldn't even buy him breakfast and that is just rude and selfish. But later when they show the women i felt happy because I can see that there are people like her that really care about others and they dont care if they speak english or not they should be treated as a normal person.

  19. When I saw the video, I almost cried. I can't believe people practice racial discrimination in 2009. When I think of racial discrimination, I think of people hitting and treating other people like they are not humans, just because of the color of their skin. Now I know that racial discrimination can be seen in latin people, blacks, whites, chinese, etc. because it can affect all races. When I first saw the video, I didn't know what was going on, but then I realized that the white man didn't want the latin men to eat at his deli, because he was prejudiced.

  20. I was shocked by what I saw in that video. Its so sad that people would react that way. It should not be that way. It should not matter if you Spanish, Mexican, Italian or African American. Those prejudices should not exist.

  21. This video shows how racism, prejudice and discrimination still exist in this world. It also shows that we should have the courage to stand up for people that are being discriminated.
    I believe we should not discriminate against people for things like: color of skin, nationality and others, because God created us all equal. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are from, we can’t offend or discriminate people. They are our family in a Christian sense, and we are not supposed to treat our family badly.
    DISCRIMINATION AND PREJUDICE HAVE TO END; WE HAVE GOT TO CHANGE THE WORLD IN A BETTER WAY!

  22. This study is very interesting and revealing. There are many attitudes that we are not very aware of them but influence our behavior and our relationship with others. Racial prejudice is one of those attitudes that may be influencing our thought and actions. For example we can recall all the jokes we had made in several occasions about people from the Dominican Republic.

  24. WOW! When I saw this video I was just so surprised that there would be racial prejudice towards the Hispanics. I felt so sorry for the man who cried because he was right we are all humans and we were created equally. Also we can't choose what background we want and you shouldn't try to change it; if your Hispanic be Hispanic, if your African-American be African-American, if your American be American, you shouldn't let anyone change you, and you shouldn't change yourself to please others.

  26. This test is good because many people do not say what they really think about others and they hide their thought in their minds. This is also discrimination and it’s very bad and sad. I believe it doesn’t mater if your black or white, if you are fat or thin, if your tall or small, if you are Latin or American, if you speak Spanish or English. I really don’t understand why people complicated their lives with racial discrimination. This people do not live happy with their lives at all. I think they are not happy with their selves. They are mean, rude and they don’t care about anybody. It is wrong for them to do this because it shows that they don’t have respect for any people at all. It’s not fair for the people who are treated this way because they are human like everybody in this world. This racist people don’t realized that everybody have the right to enjoy, be free, have love and respect. They should be unhappy and shame of what they do. They should apologize immediately of their crime. Some have done what is right and others hasn’t. Lets give hope for the people that had past through this experience because is not fair for them to suffer something that they don’t have to suffer.

  27. I could not believe how discriminating people are. They are just as good as any other person in the whole world. I find it extremely insulting to be criticized like that just because you are different. I think this is a very sad video because they can’t buy their food because people find it disturbing to be next to PEOPLE sure they are different race ECT. but they ARE people. We should teach as many people as we can to stop racism at once because they don’t know how sad we fell at the end of the day when we find that other people discriminate us for what we are physically

  28. I can't believe people are discriminated like that. It isn't fair at all. Everyone is a human being, last time I checked and those who discriminate apparently don't know that.

  29. Its so sad how there are so many people still being discriminated like that. There are so many more bad people than good. It shouldn't be like that we should be trying to stop the discrimination not supporting it.

  30. The test is very interesting and helpful and it will help us see if we really are prejudice in some areas. I think sometimes people do not really know how they really feel about some things. My grandmother told me a story about a person that said she was not a racist but when her daughter dated an Afro American, she was against it. That is very sad!
