Only 33% of UNLV faculty are BIPOC, but all four victims were (the fourth victim’s identity is unconfirmed but sources say he is AAPI). So far campus administration has not acknowledged this fact. Proud of this op-ed by my #UNLV colleagues. #UNLVStronghttps://t.co/uBt4tNAEpF

Black people are 50% more likely than White people to face medical debt. But they’re less likely to get a GoFundMe, thinking they’ll reinforce racist ideas about Black people wanting handouts.

I’m going to nickname @sunny, “Job,” because this required biblical patience between Meghan McCain’s rudeness and Abby Huntsman coming with the but-America-elected-a-black-president as evidence Kamala Harris didn’t face racism and sexism. Whew, chile.

Are we all more racist than we realise or would like to admit?
For this Channel 4 documentary Jane Elliott, a controversial former schoolteacher from Ohio, is recreating the shocking exercise she used forty years ago to teach her nine year-old pupils about prejudice.
Elliott is asking thirty adult British volunteers – men and women of different ages and backgrounds – to experience inequality based on their eye colour to show how susceptible we can all be to bigotry, and what it feels like to be on the other side of arbitrary discrimination.
Does Elliott’s exercise still have something to teach us four decades on and in a different country? Presented by Krishnan Guru-Murthy, the exercise is observed throughout by two expert psychologists, Prof Dominic Abrams and Dr Funké Baffour, who will be unpicking the behaviour on display.
First shown on Channel 4, Thursday 29 October 2009.
