  • 00:02:38
    going to be doing this
  • 00:02:40
    evening and here's our agenda so we're
  • 00:02:43
    going to have an introduction and an
  • 00:02:45
    icebreaker then I'm going to go through
  • 00:02:46
    the syllabus and the assignments in

    great detail to make sure everybody
  • 00:02:50
    understands um what we what is expected
  • 00:02:54
    in the class and then uh the video we're
  • 00:02:58
    going to look at a video a TED Talk talk
  • 00:03:00
    called how to stop stereotyping because
  • 00:03:02
    one of the things we that was in some of
  • 00:03:04
    our lecture this week was about
  • 00:03:06
    stereotyping what it is
  • 00:03:09
    um how we do it whether we do it inside
  • 00:03:12
    our head or we we show it through our
  • 00:03:14
    actions that we're stereotyping and then
  • 00:03:16
    we begin to discriminate and then um
  • 00:03:20
    we're also going to look at an article
  • 00:03:23
    call are you biased and then the
  • 00:03:26
    response is yes you are um a lot of
  • 00:03:29
    times we hear people say oh I don't have
  • 00:03:31
    any
  • 00:03:32
    biases not true I'm just gonna call
  • 00:03:36
    myself on that I used to think that I
  • 00:03:37
    didn't have any biases towards certain
  • 00:03:40
    situations and groups I found out that
  • 00:03:42
    yes I did and becoming aware of that has
  • 00:03:45
    changed me as a person so then um those
  • 00:03:48
    are going to be we're going to do
  • 00:03:50
    something with the article we're
  • 00:03:51
    probably if we don't get quite to it we
  • 00:03:54
    will I would want you to look at it and
  • 00:03:56
    give me some of your take takeaways from
  • 00:03:58
    it okay okay so let's go to the next one
  • 00:04:02
    so the Icebreaker two truths and a lie
  • 00:04:04
    if you have had this had a class with me
  • 00:04:07
    you know we always start with this name
  • 00:04:08
    two things that are true about you name
  • 00:04:11
    one thing that is not true about you so
  • 00:04:14
    I'm GNA my two truths in the LIE are my
  • 00:04:16
    lie and the two truths whichever way you
  • 00:04:18
    want to look at it is I hate green peas
  • 00:04:21
    I did a strip tease in a Catholic mass
  • 00:04:25
    and I have two
  • 00:04:28
    dogs I think I said that right
  • 00:04:30
    right um no let me say it again I think
  • 00:04:33
    I messed up I love green peas I have um
  • 00:04:38
    I love green peas I did a strip tease in
  • 00:04:41
    the Catholic mass and I have two
  • 00:04:44
    cars um which one is the lie so most
  • 00:04:50
    people think the LIE is that I did a
  • 00:04:52
    strip tease in the Catholic mass but
  • 00:04:55
    that's a truth I did that um I can tell
  • 00:04:57
    you a quick story I was probably about
  • 00:05:00
    five or six years old and there was uh
  • 00:05:03
    I'm aging myself but there was a uh
  • 00:05:05
    movie called Gypsy Rose Lee and if you
  • 00:05:08
    ever want to see that movie with Natalie
  • 00:05:09
    Woods you can uh it might be on Netflix
  • 00:05:11
    or you can find it on Amazon but it's a
  • 00:05:14
    good movie and but back in that time
  • 00:05:17
    when I was five which was 60 years ago
  • 00:05:19
    it was considered a pretty risque movie
  • 00:05:21
    and my parents were watching it um in
  • 00:05:25
    the living room I
  • 00:05:27
    think and we had me and my brother had
  • 00:05:29
    bunk bags that were like in another room
  • 00:05:32
    but you could see the living room so I
  • 00:05:34
    snuck up and saw this movie and what it
  • 00:05:36
    was is a lady who was uh Gypsy Rose Lee
  • 00:05:39
    and it really has to do with her
  • 00:05:41
    mother um but Gypsy Rose Lee and she uh
  • 00:05:45
    was do as a
  • 00:05:46
    stripper uh and so she was shimmying and
  • 00:05:49
    doing her thing and I was a five years
  • 00:05:51
    old or six looking at that and I said oh
  • 00:05:53
    oh look at that but I didn't know it was
  • 00:05:55
    bad thing at the time um what she was
  • 00:05:58
    doing or maybe not bad in everybody's
  • 00:06:01
    eyes people might look at diversity I
  • 00:06:03
    might have a person in this class who's
  • 00:06:05
    a stripper but considered at that time
  • 00:06:08
    it was uh not the norm let's put it that
  • 00:06:11
    way and there was a certain kind of
  • 00:06:14
    thought about that um so what I did do
  • 00:06:18
    was go back to school the next day and I
  • 00:06:20
    went to Catholic school and um me and my
  • 00:06:24
    friend Loretta we would walk in the
  • 00:06:26
    hallway to the mass every day with our
  • 00:06:29
    class
  • 00:06:30
    and we play this game called Truth or
  • 00:06:31
    Dare most of the time we would dare
  • 00:06:33
    ourselves well Letta had a kind of
  • 00:06:34
    condition but she sometimes would fake
  • 00:06:37
    it when she would just faint and she did
  • 00:06:39
    that in the line and all the nuns we had
  • 00:06:41
    the nuns who had the black habits and
  • 00:06:44
    they can't run it oh and I knew she was
  • 00:06:47
    faking it but I didn't say anything she
  • 00:06:48
    was like my best friend CUA she dared I
  • 00:06:51
    dared her to faint and so she got up
  • 00:06:54
    everybody was like if she's okay let's
  • 00:06:56
    keep going to the mask you had to know
  • 00:06:58
    the school
  • 00:07:00
    and then so I had told her in class
  • 00:07:02
    about this movie I had watched and um
  • 00:07:06
    the lady uh was taking off her clothes
  • 00:07:08
    and into the music and dancing so I I
  • 00:07:12
    was always um an actress and I'll always
  • 00:07:15
    like to do fun things and very uh very
  • 00:07:20
    very outgoing and so she said okay
  • 00:07:23
    here's your dare your dare is do the
  • 00:07:26
    strip tees when we get into the
  • 00:07:28
    mass and or take off your clothes I
  • 00:07:30
    don't know if we even use that word but
  • 00:07:32
    anyway I went in I said oh boy I didn't
  • 00:07:34
    know it was really bad at the time I
  • 00:07:36
    didn't consider it bad and you had to
  • 00:07:38
    consider the context that I'm in in a
  • 00:07:40
    Catholic uh mask and so we wore uniforms
  • 00:07:44
    plaid and black and a white shirt and I
  • 00:07:47
    began to do the shimmy to the mass music
  • 00:07:50
    now you had to if you're Catholic you
  • 00:07:53
    know and so it had the organ and they
  • 00:07:55
    were playing so I just started taking
  • 00:07:57
    off my little suspenders I'm getting
  • 00:08:00
    ready to unzip my skirt and had and
  • 00:08:02
    unbuttoning my blouse and next thing I
  • 00:08:06
    know Sister Paul madana who really liked
  • 00:08:08
    me she ran over there and if you know
  • 00:08:11
    anything about parochial school you can
  • 00:08:12
    get snatched up and she snatched me up
  • 00:08:15
    out of there and she said what are you
  • 00:08:16
    doing and I said oh I I was saw this
  • 00:08:19
    movie and I was just doing what that
  • 00:08:21
    lady did and so she really was chewing
  • 00:08:24
    me out and she was like oh that's
  • 00:08:26
    inappropriate and that's not something
  • 00:08:28
    you should be doing and so um I said but
  • 00:08:30
    please don't just tell my dad because I
  • 00:08:32
    know I knew you had to understand this
  • 00:08:34
    was uh uh I come from the um Baby
  • 00:08:37
    Boomers and so it was gonna be really
  • 00:08:40
    bad if I got home and she told him I was
  • 00:08:42
    doing the strip te's and The Mask so
  • 00:08:44
    anyway long story short she liked me and
  • 00:08:46
    she gave me time to but myself up and
  • 00:08:49
    she said make sure you never do that
  • 00:08:52
    again and I won't call you that so I
  • 00:08:54
    appreciated that
  • 00:08:57
    um that was really
  • 00:09:00
    interesting um so
  • 00:09:02
    anyway that that one is definitely a
  • 00:09:06
    truth
  • 00:09:08
    um okay so one of the things that um
  • 00:09:13
    that was a lie is if I said I love green
  • 00:09:16
    peas I hate them and that's another
  • 00:09:17
    story but I don't have that much time to
  • 00:09:19
    get into that
  • 00:09:21
    um but that was my lie I do have two
  • 00:09:24

    offensive to any another person we're
  • 00:12:38
    not going to get into
  • 00:12:40
    arguments um about our side and other
  • 00:12:43
    people's side the the purpose of this
  • 00:12:45
    course is to understand that we're
  • 00:12:46
    diverse everybody has difference and we
  • 00:12:50
    accept um each other's differences you
  • 00:12:53
    may not agree and you don't have to but
  • 00:12:55
    thank God we have a diverse world where
  • 00:12:57
    we can all look at different opinions
  • 00:12:59
    and those kinds of things so the book
  • 00:13:02
    that we're going over using is called uh
  • 00:13:05
    understanding and managing diversity I
  • 00:13:06
    am working very hard to get them to come
  • 00:13:08
    up with a new book this book has been
  • 00:13:10
    around for a long time uh we need to get
  • 00:13:12
    a new one because a lot of things have
  • 00:13:14
    happened in the well in terms of
  • 00:13:16
    diversity a lot of changes when I first
  • 00:13:18
    taught this class one of the things that
  • 00:13:21
    was interesting is M gay marriage was
  • 00:13:24
    not um a um a
  • 00:13:27
    law at that that time and so that was
  • 00:13:30
    like maybe 15 years ago and um when I
  • 00:13:34
    first started this class U when it was
  • 00:13:36
    first developed and people used to get
  • 00:13:38
    into discussions and really kind of rip
  • 00:13:41
    each other about different things
  • 00:13:43
    because there are some questions in here
  • 00:13:44
    that deal with that um but um it's
  • 00:13:48
    really interesting now you have more
  • 00:13:51
    acceptance about that uh about gay
  • 00:13:54
    marriage and different things whereas
  • 00:13:55
    before it was so anti that and so it's
  • 00:13:58
    just very interesting to just kind of
  • 00:14:00
    see um how how things in diversity and
  • 00:14:04
    times change so for your grading events
  • 00:14:08
    you have course preparation quiz weekly
  • 00:14:10
    Tech live Reflections assignments 1
  • 00:14:13
    through 12 individual project film
  • 00:14:15
    analysis discussion boards and current
  • 00:14:18
    events and of course you can look at the
  • 00:14:20
    grading scale yourself um assignment one
  • 00:14:23
    so let's make sure we follow everything
  • 00:14:26
    that what the rubric says says the
  • 00:14:27
    purpose of this written assign is for
  • 00:14:29
    students to write a one-page essay
  • 00:14:31
    describing how they identify themselves
  • 00:14:34
    students will use 15 descriptors to
  • 00:14:37
    identify your the subscripts will be
  • 00:14:40
    underlined because points that get taken
  • 00:14:42
    off for that I need to know what your
  • 00:14:44
    descriptors are and the paper will
  • 00:14:46
    include a cover sheet that will include
  • 00:14:48
    the following your name the course
  • 00:14:50
    number Professor name and date the
  • 00:14:51
    assignment is due the paper is no is to
  • 00:14:55
    be no less than one page long and it's
  • 00:14:58
    double space so what I'm looking for
  • 00:15:01
    when you write you can write it in terms
  • 00:15:02
    of paragraphing I have had people do
  • 00:15:04
    that I have people have made list I am a
  • 00:15:07
    mother I am a grandmother um but you but
  • 00:15:12
    beyond that Define what what what that
  • 00:15:15
    particular descriptor is to you so that
  • 00:15:18
    we can know a little bit more about you
  • 00:15:21
    and then um so this is the rubric that
  • 00:15:24
    goes on how many points you get for each
  • 00:15:26
    doing each thing and then the the rest
  • 00:15:29
    of it is pretty much uh uh what do we
  • 00:15:32
    would call just clear I think but I'm
  • 00:15:35
    going to go over the individual project
  • 00:15:37
    I will probably try to go over each week
  • 00:15:39
    because this is the one that's worth the
  • 00:15:41
    most points but it's also I want it to
  • 00:15:43
    be fun and I want you to get the best
  • 00:15:45
    benefit from it so what you're going to
  • 00:15:48
    do is to in your organization your
  • 00:15:50
    church your work a
  • 00:15:52
    club
  • 00:15:54
    um that you belong to identify someone
  • 00:15:57
    who has perceived as different than you
  • 00:15:59
    now I've had people who have def uh
  • 00:16:01
    various issues and situations going on
  • 00:16:03
    in life but they didn't have anything
  • 00:16:05
    that fit this you can use your family
  • 00:16:08
    you can use somebody because when you
  • 00:16:10
    think about it a family is like an
  • 00:16:13
    organization um and you want to pick
  • 00:16:15
    somebody who you view maybe other people
  • 00:16:18
    don't but you view as different than you
  • 00:16:21
    I actually had a um a student do one
  • 00:16:24
    where she was African-American the
  • 00:16:27
    others other different person that she
  • 00:16:30
    that was different to her was also an
  • 00:16:32
    African-American but how are they
  • 00:16:33
    different in the color of their skin one
  • 00:16:35
    had more melanin the other one had less
  • 00:16:38
    melanin um which means pigmentation In
  • 00:16:41
    Their Skin and how they felt that they
  • 00:16:43
    were different and got different
  • 00:16:44
    treatment and you know on each side of
  • 00:16:47
    that so that's one way to look at it I
  • 00:16:49
    had a lady also do um trying to think
  • 00:16:54
    she she did one where she had a handicap
  • 00:16:57
    person at her job who was in a
  • 00:16:58
    wheelchair
  • 00:16:59
    and when she got through talking with
  • 00:17:01
    this person it was really interesting
  • 00:17:03
    because she saw that things different
  • 00:17:05
    that she never would have thought of she
  • 00:17:07
    knew he was in a wheelchair and she
  • 00:17:08
    wasn't but just try to picture using a
  • 00:17:10
    xerox machine or uh you know and being
  • 00:17:14
    able to see high enough to where the
  • 00:17:16
    buttons are um back then it might have
  • 00:17:19
    been more of a challenge they do make
  • 00:17:20
    the machines copy machines a little
  • 00:17:22
    different now but just to think of in
  • 00:17:24
    terms of that and then I had a uh a
  • 00:17:27
    person who
  • 00:17:30
    was I I won't say they were
  • 00:17:33
    homophobic but they kind of were and
  • 00:17:35
    they didn't they were not they didn't
  • 00:17:39
    agree with or didn't like people who
  • 00:17:41
    were homosexuals and what ended up
  • 00:17:43
    happening is she decided that she was
  • 00:17:44
    going to interview a person and she
  • 00:17:47
    learned a lot about that and that helped
  • 00:17:50
    her her um discrimination or her
  • 00:17:53
    stereotyping or just her view of that
  • 00:17:58
    particular population and in this person
  • 00:18:01
    um so that's what I want you to kind of
  • 00:18:03
    do so you're going to interview a person
  • 00:18:05
    that you view is different compare his
  • 00:18:07
    or her similarities and differences with
  • 00:18:10
    you so what you want to do is you want
  • 00:18:11
    to say well I am a white female who is
  • 00:18:18
    um um I have five children and I am a
  • 00:18:23
    boss at my job I work in administration
  • 00:18:26
    I'm and then when you say your person
  • 00:18:29
    who you choose to interview you're going
  • 00:18:30
    to talk about their similarities they
  • 00:18:32
    might have some of those same
  • 00:18:33
    similarities as you they might both be
  • 00:18:36
    you might both be administrators you
  • 00:18:38
    might both want uh you might both have
  • 00:18:40
    families and children that's how you're
  • 00:18:42
    similar but how are you different and so
  • 00:18:45
    you may use the difference that you
  • 00:18:47
    chose why you chose them and so you can
  • 00:18:50
    do that you can um also look at the
  • 00:18:53
    differences this person may be male you
  • 00:18:55
    might be female um or vice versa and you
  • 00:18:59
    know and you're looking at things on
  • 00:19:00
    your job who how males get treated
  • 00:19:02
    differently than females um just those
  • 00:19:05
    kind of things and we will be reading
  • 00:19:06
    some of those kinds of things in our
  • 00:19:08
    book as we go along okay identify their
  • 00:19:11
    challenges and obstacles so if you're
  • 00:19:14
    identifying an a handicapped person
  • 00:19:16
    you're going to say okay um I'll give
  • 00:19:19
    you an example what are the challenge
  • 00:19:21
    and obstacles that a person who is
  • 00:19:23
    handicapp have on their job um and so
  • 00:19:28
    some of that would be
  • 00:19:31
    um um you know just like that's
  • 00:19:33
    mentioned about the Xerox machine or if
  • 00:19:36
    somebody is blind you know they have to
  • 00:19:37
    have an assistant to help them on their
  • 00:19:39
    job because you can't discriminate based
  • 00:19:41
    on disability and then because of their
  • 00:19:44
    differences I ski that one but let me go
  • 00:19:46
    back identify their advantages that they
  • 00:19:49
    have in the
  • 00:19:50
    organization so you want to identify
  • 00:19:53
    what advantages so a handicapped person
  • 00:19:55
    might get a u a special handicap parking
  • 00:19:59
    spot you
  • 00:20:00
    know that's an advantage they could get
  • 00:20:03
    um they may get an assistant to help
  • 00:20:05
    them do some of their work where that's
  • 00:20:08
    an advantage that they get and you might
  • 00:20:10
    not get so and then explain what the job
  • 00:20:14
    does or the person or the organization
  • 00:20:17
    does in tackling those challenges and
  • 00:20:19
    obstacles so what is what do a a company
  • 00:20:22
    do to help um you have to identify the
  • 00:20:26
    obstacles but then also what does the
  • 00:20:28
    company do to help the person um you
  • 00:20:31
    know deal with their their obstacles um
  • 00:20:36
    so hold on let me get
  • 00:20:38
    back so that's what you want to do and
  • 00:20:40
    this is how the paper is going to look
  • 00:20:42
    so here what this is what I always tell
  • 00:20:43
    people when you head using headers on
  • 00:20:45
    your paper it must consist of four to
  • 00:20:48
    five pages that are substantive and an
  • 00:20:50
    attachment of your original interview
  • 00:20:52
    with your questions and responses so
  • 00:20:54
    you're going to come up with the
  • 00:20:55
    questions that are going to fit the
  • 00:20:57
    objectives that you have to get get for
  • 00:20:59
    the paper for the rubric I don't give
  • 00:21:01
    you the questions you come up with the
  • 00:21:03
    questions because I think it makes you
  • 00:21:04
    think more about it um you're going to
  • 00:21:07
    have a title page and a cited reference
  • 00:21:10
    page you might not have a reference page
  • 00:21:12
    but if you use quotes or you get
  • 00:21:14
    information or data about your person or
  • 00:21:17
    about your company the company if you
  • 00:21:19
    use any of that then you can um you need
  • 00:21:22
    to make sure that
  • 00:21:25
    um um if you use any of that yes you
  • 00:21:28
    will need to have a a reference page and
  • 00:21:31
    so what I've always told people to do is
  • 00:21:34
    have a header or like you start your
  • 00:21:37
    paper your introduction and you can look
  • 00:21:39
    at the rubric at the bottom it goes more
  • 00:21:41
    detail what is your introduction to your
  • 00:21:43
    paper uh title it because I've had
  • 00:21:46
    people forget to do that part and then
  • 00:21:47
    they get points off and then what are
  • 00:21:49
    the similarities between you and that
  • 00:21:53
    person not between the job or anything
  • 00:21:55
    just the similarities between you and
  • 00:21:57
    that person so you're both similar in
  • 00:21:59
    and name three or four things that
  • 00:22:01
    you're similar about and then name three
  • 00:22:03
    or four things that you're dis that
  • 00:22:04
    you're not uh similar that you have
  • 00:22:07
    differences then talk about what
  • 00:22:09
    advantages does this person have who you
  • 00:22:11
    view as different than you maybe
  • 00:22:13
    advantages over what you have in
  • 00:22:15
    comparison and then you're going to also
  • 00:22:18
    write the challenges what kind of
  • 00:22:20
    challenges does this person have that
  • 00:22:21
    maybe you don't have and you know or
  • 00:22:24
    vice versa and then in the end you going
  • 00:22:26
    to do Reflections so title each section
  • 00:22:29
    of this you're going to write it in a um
  • 00:22:32
    paragraph format but title each section
  • 00:22:36
    so you make sure you're getting uh that
  • 00:22:38
    you don't skip one because I've had
  • 00:22:40
    people do that and it really messed up
  • 00:22:42
    their uh grades so so I'm here's how the
  • 00:22:45
    points are going to break down the
  • 00:22:46
    interviewee is different I'm going to be
  • 00:22:48
    looking for that your
  • 00:22:50
    introduction I'm going to be looking for
  • 00:22:52
    that the similarities and this is how
  • 00:22:54
    many points each is with
  • 00:22:56
    advantages challenge
  • 00:22:58
    reflections of assignments interview
  • 00:23:01
    transcript and format guidelines so
  • 00:23:04
    you're going to follow all of those
  • 00:23:05
    things make sure you looking at um the
  • 00:23:08
    format of four or five double space
  • 00:23:10
    Pages cited reference sheet um
  • 00:23:13
    information is very organized and clear
  • 00:23:14
    and no grammar errors and U you have
  • 00:23:17
    spell check and grammar check now so you
  • 00:23:19
    want to make sure that that's not uh a
  • 00:23:22
    part of it so this is really important
  • 00:23:23
    in this paper and I will probably talk
  • 00:23:25
    about it as we go along so discuss board
  • 00:23:29
    assignments there are four graded
  • 00:23:31
    discussion board assignments in this
  • 00:23:33
    course all right so these discussion
  • 00:23:35
    boards are worth a maximum of 10 points
  • 00:23:37
    each and you're going to refer to the
  • 00:23:40

    hopefully that kind of gives you a
  • 00:27:32
    breakdown to what it's what our um what
  • 00:27:36
    our assignments and syllabus and those
  • 00:27:37
    things are like please contact me and
  • 00:27:40
    let me know if there's something you
  • 00:27:41
    don't understand or something is not
  • 00:27:44
    clear to you let me know I'm here to
  • 00:27:46
    help okay so we're going to watch a a a
  • 00:27:51
    video and it's called why we stereotype
  • 00:27:54
    others and how can we stop I run is my
  • 00:27:58
    my opinion that when we start to
  • 00:27:59
    stereotype that's where Prejudice and
  • 00:28:03
    um discrimination began I don't think we
  • 00:28:07
    just
  • 00:28:08
    discrim discriminate haphazardly or just
  • 00:28:12
    oh I just Tred to treat this person
  • 00:28:13
    different than this other person and
  • 00:28:15
    allow this person to get hired and I it
  • 00:28:17
    comes from our own and they use the word
  • 00:28:19
    the new buzz word is bias and we're g to
  • 00:28:22
    talk about that a little bit we used to
  • 00:28:25
    call that something else um when I was
  • 00:28:27
    younger
  • 00:28:28
    in the 60s and the 70s um and having had
  • 00:28:32
    those experiences and I was talking to
  • 00:28:34
    somebody about bias and microaggressions
  • 00:28:37
    and different things like that and they
  • 00:28:39
    were nearer to my age and I said we used
  • 00:28:41
    to call that prejudice and racism when
  • 00:28:43
    they don't really kind of use those
  • 00:28:45
    words
  • 00:28:46
    anymore but um because a friend of mine
  • 00:28:49
    said and she's younger than me and she
  • 00:28:51
    says oh they don't use that word those
  • 00:28:53
    words anymore because they want to make
  • 00:28:55
    it not
  • 00:28:56
    as negative has words like races and
  • 00:29:00
    Prejudice come out that was their
  • 00:29:01
    opinion so I thought it was real
  • 00:29:02
    interesting so we're going to watch the
  • 00:29:05
    video oops I went back too fast
  • 00:29:10
    okay and you can read over the lecture
  • 00:29:13
    and the lecture notes I'm not going to
  • 00:29:14
    spend a lot of time over that because I
  • 00:29:16
    know you can do it um but what I am
  • 00:29:19
    going to do is each week I'll pick a
  • 00:29:20
    topic or topics and there's no one in
  • 00:29:24
    here right now but where we can talk
  • 00:29:26
    about you know the different cont that
  • 00:29:28
    come with diversity that go with along
  • 00:29:30
    with the reading um I'm going to um look
  • 00:29:34
    at those things so to as we're looking
  • 00:29:35
    at stopping stereotypes that's the name
  • 00:29:38
    of the video uh the thought questions
  • 00:29:40
    that we want to look at is what is
  • 00:29:42
    collective liability and give an example
  • 00:29:45
    so I want you to really look for that in
  • 00:29:47
    this uh as we're watching this Ted Talk
  • 00:29:51
    and see if you can um identify what it
  • 00:29:54
    is and give an example of it and we'll
  • 00:29:57
    I'll discuss it but that's kind of
  • 00:29:59
    something I want you to look at when
  • 00:30:00
    you're putting in your summary for this
  • 00:30:02
    Tech live okay let's hopefully we can
  • 00:30:05
    get it not have any problems okay we got
  • 00:30:09
    the audio
  • 00:30:12
    [Music]
  • 00:30:14
    on okay hold on I'm gonna have to turn
  • 00:30:17
    off I know what I'm gonna have to do let
  • 00:30:19
    me just do
  • 00:30:20
    this I'm G turn off my my microphone
  • 00:30:23
    hopefully I'll remember to turn it on
  • 00:30:26
    um but I'm going to turn off micophone
  • 00:30:58
    [Music]
  • 00:31:09
    thank you thank you very much I'm here
  • 00:31:12
    today to talk about stereotypes contrary
  • 00:31:15
    to popular
  • 00:31:17
    belief nobody
  • 00:31:20
    has nobody has to teach us how to
  • 00:31:22
    stereotype anybody it's something our
  • 00:31:24
    brains do all by themselves because
  • 00:31:26
    they're trying so hard to to
  • 00:31:28
    oversimplify our world and this leads to
  • 00:31:30
    sometimes hatred and literally sometimes
  • 00:31:33
    Warfare between groups of people all
  • 00:31:35
    because our brains are trying to make
  • 00:31:37
    life easier for us let's talk about how
  • 00:31:39
    this happens first thing we need to talk
  • 00:31:41
    about are ingroups an ingroup is any
  • 00:31:44
    group that we feel as if we belong to
  • 00:31:46
    that group we identify with it anytime
  • 00:31:49
    we say we or us that's an ingroup and
  • 00:31:52
    belonging to an in group is pretty
  • 00:31:53
    awesome gives us a sense of belonging of
  • 00:31:55
    having a place in the world we raise our
  • 00:31:58
    opinion of other members of our group if
  • 00:32:00
    you think of yourself as a member of
  • 00:32:01
    your group and you think of me as a
  • 00:32:02
    member of that group your opinion of me
  • 00:32:04
    will go up even if we've never met just
  • 00:32:06
    because I'm part of that group oddly we
  • 00:32:09
    also think about and notice the
  • 00:32:11
    differences between ourselves we think
  • 00:32:13
    of ourselves as distinct and Unique
  • 00:32:15
    Individuals who all just happen to share
  • 00:32:17
    something good in common which is
  • 00:32:19
    belonging to the group in groups make us
  • 00:32:22
    feel like part of humanity they make us
  • 00:32:24
    feel great and frankly it is wonderful
  • 00:32:27
    unfortunately there's a downside to this
  • 00:32:29
    because anytime you have an us you have
  • 00:32:31
    to have them those people The Outsiders
  • 00:32:35
    the ingroup sorry the outg
  • 00:32:37
    group here's the thing we don't raise
  • 00:32:39
    our opinion to members of the outg group
  • 00:32:41
    in fact we lower it just knowing that
  • 00:32:42
    you belong to a group that I don't
  • 00:32:44
    belong to lowers our opinion of
  • 00:32:46
    you also when we look at members of the
  • 00:32:49
    out group we notice the similarities
  • 00:32:50
    between them we start to think of them
  • 00:32:52
    as interchangeable as essentially all
  • 00:32:55
    the same as a faceless blob so to speak
  • 00:32:57
    in a worst case scenario when our group
  • 00:32:59
    turns inward and restricts and reduces
  • 00:33:01
    interaction with members of the outg
  • 00:33:03
    groups we will actually dehumanize them
  • 00:33:05
    and conclude that they're not really
  • 00:33:06
    human in the first place now
  • 00:33:07
    dehumanization is terrible for a variety
  • 00:33:09
    of reasons but one of those reasons is
  • 00:33:12
    because it becomes possible to do
  • 00:33:14
    terrible things to people if we don't
  • 00:33:15
    think of them as fully human in the
  • 00:33:17
    first place this Us Versus Them ingroup
  • 00:33:20
    outgroup Dynamic happens anytime we
  • 00:33:23
    divide ourselves into groups even if we
  • 00:33:25
    know that it's random if I were to
  • 00:33:27
    divide this room now and start referring
  • 00:33:28
    to everybody on this side of the room is
  • 00:33:29
    group a everybody on this side of the
  • 00:33:31
    room is Group B if I keep reinforcing
  • 00:33:33
    that by asking questions or simply
  • 00:33:35
    referring to those groups you know group
  • 00:33:36
    a over here blah blah blah Group B This
  • 00:33:38
    and That by the time I'm done with my
  • 00:33:41
    talk many of the people in this room
  • 00:33:43
    will have started to raise their opinion
  • 00:33:45
    of people who sat on the correct side of
  • 00:33:46
    the room meaning the side they're on and
  • 00:33:48
    unfortunately started to lower their
  • 00:33:50
    opinion of members of the outg group the
  • 00:33:52
    other side of the room people who sat on
  • 00:33:54
    the wrong side of the room it's just
  • 00:33:56
    that simple that's all it takes and it
  • 00:33:58
    seems to be hum Universal throughout
  • 00:33:59
    humankind as well we have a natural
  • 00:34:02
    tendency to favor us over
  • 00:34:06
    them why do we do this well as I already
  • 00:34:08
    said our brain is trying to simplify
  • 00:34:11
    things this leads us to make a series of
  • 00:34:13
    cognitive mistakes that all wind
  • 00:34:16
    up with negative effects the first and
  • 00:34:19
    most important of these is conservation
  • 00:34:21
    error conservation error is basically
  • 00:34:23
    our brain taking things and lumping them
  • 00:34:25
    into categories so that we don't have to
  • 00:34:26
    think anymore it's literally way to
  • 00:34:28
    avoid thinking uh we put things into a
  • 00:34:30
    category and then they all become one so
  • 00:34:32
    for example let's say a dog bites me or
  • 00:34:34
    even just scares me when I'm a child and
  • 00:34:36
    so for the rest of my life I'm afraid of
  • 00:34:38
    dogs because I believe that all dogs are
  • 00:34:40
    scary and dangerous and want to bite me
  • 00:34:42
    I don't have to when I meet a dog I
  • 00:34:44
    don't have to evaluate it as an
  • 00:34:45
    individual I don't have to pay attention
  • 00:34:46
    to its behavioral cues or know anything
  • 00:34:48
    about its temperament or history all I
  • 00:34:50
    have to know is that it's a dog all dogs
  • 00:34:52
    want to bite me so I avoid all dogs the
  • 00:34:55
    same thing happens with you know small
  • 00:34:56
    children and vegetable they taste a
  • 00:34:58
    vegetable they don't like they decide
  • 00:35:00
    that vegetables are gross and from that
  • 00:35:02
    point on good luck getting them to eat a
  • 00:35:04
    vegetable and I could tell from a couple
  • 00:35:07
    of Chuckles in the room some of you have
  • 00:35:08
    small or have had small children at home
  • 00:35:10
    uh unfortunately this is not something
  • 00:35:12
    that only small children do and we don't
  • 00:35:13
    just do it with dogs and vegetables we
  • 00:35:15
    do it with human beings as well so a
  • 00:35:17
    dating partner lied therefore all women
  • 00:35:20
    are liars or men can't be trusted we
  • 00:35:22
    catch a student cheating on a test so
  • 00:35:24
    students are cheaters or we have an
  • 00:35:26
    interaction with somebody who has very
  • 00:35:28
    obviously different political beliefs
  • 00:35:29
    than our own and they're rude to us so
  • 00:35:32
    those people are
  • 00:35:34
    rude this is what leads directly to the
  • 00:35:37
    creation of stereotypes and prejudices a
  • 00:35:39
    stereotype is just a set of beliefs
  • 00:35:42
    about an entire category of people and
  • 00:35:44
    the Prejudice is just the attitudes we
  • 00:35:46
    develop about those people based on
  • 00:35:48
    those stereotypes stereotypes and
  • 00:35:50
    prejudices are literally the living
  • 00:35:52
    embodiment of conservation error
  • 00:35:54
    conservation error causes us to create
  • 00:35:56
    these stereotypes and eventually
  • 00:35:58
    convinces us that they are real and
  • 00:36:00
    true this then leads to the next
  • 00:36:03
    cognitive mistake we make which is
  • 00:36:04
    collective
  • 00:36:06
    liability Collective liability is when
  • 00:36:09
    we assume that every member of a group
  • 00:36:11
    is responsible for the behavior of any
  • 00:36:14
    member of the
  • 00:36:15
    group so for example do you remember
  • 00:36:18
    that teacher that punished the whole
  • 00:36:19
    class for something you didn't do when
  • 00:36:21
    you were a kid and you remember how you
  • 00:36:23
    burned with moral outrage when that
  • 00:36:24
    happened it's a common scenario that's
  • 00:36:27
    how I know it's applies to at least some
  • 00:36:28
    of the people listening to me right now
  • 00:36:30
    here's the thing it felt unfair because
  • 00:36:32
    it was unfair Collective liability
  • 00:36:35
    always means punishing individual people
  • 00:36:38
    for things that they did not do that's
  • 00:36:42
    Collective
  • 00:36:43
    liability we only do this to outg groups
  • 00:36:45
    we don't do it to our own group because
  • 00:36:46
    remember when we're thinking about the
  • 00:36:47
    ingroup we think of ourselves as
  • 00:36:49
    separate distinct and Unique Individuals
  • 00:36:51
    why should I feel guilty or badly about
  • 00:36:53
    something that some other individual did
  • 00:36:56
    but when we think about the out groups
  • 00:36:58
    oh now it makes sense to us because
  • 00:37:00
    you're all the same you're all
  • 00:37:02
    interchangeable of course you should all
  • 00:37:04
    feel guilty and apologize for something
  • 00:37:06
    somebody else did in fact you should
  • 00:37:07
    consider yourself lucky that you aren't
  • 00:37:08
    all being punished for it Collective
  • 00:37:10
    liability makes sense to us because we
  • 00:37:13
    only do it to those people to Outsiders
  • 00:37:15
    to members of the outg
  • 00:37:17
    group this is what leads to gang
  • 00:37:19
    violence and frankly quite a bit of few
  • 00:37:21
    Wars in history somebody from that group
  • 00:37:23
    did something to somebody from our group
  • 00:37:25
    so we need to do something to somebody
  • 00:37:26
    from that group
  • 00:37:28
    somebody from that territory lobed a
  • 00:37:30
    rocket into our territory we need to
  • 00:37:31
    drop a bomb on their territory the thing
  • 00:37:33
    you need to understand about the
  • 00:37:34
    collective liability is we genuinely
  • 00:37:37
    don't care if the people that are being
  • 00:37:39
    injured and killed are the ones who are
  • 00:37:40
    actually responsible for the behavior
  • 00:37:42
    we're
  • 00:37:43
    avenging because in our minds all of
  • 00:37:46
    those people are interchangeable so we
  • 00:37:48
    can Avenge the behavior of anybody from
  • 00:37:50
    that
  • 00:37:51
    group by avenging ourselves on anybody
  • 00:37:54
    else from that group they're all the
  • 00:37:56
    same that would be bad enough but we
  • 00:37:58
    also then engage in something called the
  • 00:38:00
    fundamental attribution error it's
  • 00:38:02
    called the fundamental attribution error
  • 00:38:04
    because it's so common we all do this to
  • 00:38:05
    a greater or lesser extent the short
  • 00:38:07
    version is anybody from our in group who
  • 00:38:10
    does anything bad or negative we explain
  • 00:38:12
    it away we attribute it to external
  • 00:38:15
    causes they did what they did because
  • 00:38:18
    they had no choice you know Bob wasn't
  • 00:38:20
    driving because he's a selfish jerk boob
  • 00:38:22
    I'm sorry speeding Bob was speeding
  • 00:38:24
    because he was late for a very important
  • 00:38:26
    meeting but we don't do that with
  • 00:38:28
    members of the out group in fact we make
  • 00:38:30
    the exact opposite mistake we assume
  • 00:38:32
    that their behavior is driven by their
  • 00:38:33
    inner character so that person who's a
  • 00:38:36
    member of your group they weren't
  • 00:38:37
    speeding because they relate for an
  • 00:38:39
    important meeting they were speeding
  • 00:38:40
    because they're a selfish jerk who
  • 00:38:41
    doesn't care about the safety of others
  • 00:38:43
    we literally misjudge everybody because
  • 00:38:46
    of the attribution error because social
  • 00:38:48
    scientists have known for decades human
  • 00:38:50
    behavior is a complex interaction
  • 00:38:52
    between internal factors of personality
  • 00:38:54
    and temperament and external factors the
  • 00:38:56
    situation the circumstance ances Etc but
  • 00:38:59
    when someone from our own group does
  • 00:39:01
    something negative we ignore the
  • 00:39:03
    internal factors and attribute it
  • 00:39:04
    entirely to external factors which is
  • 00:39:06
    always wrong and when somebody from the
  • 00:39:08
    outg group does something we ignore the
  • 00:39:10
    external factors and attribute it
  • 00:39:12
    completely to the internal factors which
  • 00:39:14
    is always wrong so we're literally
  • 00:39:15
    misjudging
  • 00:39:18
    everybody so to summarize our brains
  • 00:39:21
    trick us into creating stereotypes and
  • 00:39:23
    reinforcing them and convincing
  • 00:39:25
    ourselves that they're not only useful
  • 00:39:26
    that they're true and
  • 00:39:29
    accurate so what can we do about this I
  • 00:39:31
    have a bold suggestion are you
  • 00:39:37
    ready let's
  • 00:39:39
    stop let's stop doing it because
  • 00:39:43
    everything I just spoke about is
  • 00:39:44
    something that we do and we don't have
  • 00:39:47
    to do those things this is all in our
  • 00:39:49
    heads this is all a matter of perception
  • 00:39:52
    not reality we choose who we identify
  • 00:39:55
    with which means we choose who we think
  • 00:39:57
    of as our
  • 00:39:58
    ingroup well the problem with that is
  • 00:40:01
    how we Define our ingroups racists
  • 00:40:03
    divide the entire world into Us and Them
  • 00:40:05
    based on the pigmentation of people's
  • 00:40:07
    skin sexists do the same thing with
  • 00:40:09
    gender others use their religious or
  • 00:40:11
    political perspective to divide the
  • 00:40:12
    entire world into us and them anytime we
  • 00:40:15
    create an us we create them but we don't
  • 00:40:18
    have to do that we don't have to think
  • 00:40:21
    about shallow superficial things like
  • 00:40:23
    skin color or gender as the most
  • 00:40:25
    important things about people if we just
  • 00:40:26
    focus on people as individuals then we
  • 00:40:29
    can avoid this we choose to lump people
  • 00:40:32
    into categories in order to make our
  • 00:40:33
    lives easier conservation error is what
  • 00:40:36
    our brains do on autopilot we don't have
  • 00:40:38
    to do it we just have to remind
  • 00:40:41
    ourselves over and over and over again
  • 00:40:43
    this is an individual person that I'm
  • 00:40:45
    looking at or talking to or thinking
  • 00:40:47
    about and choose to not lump them into a
  • 00:40:50
    category with other people that we think
  • 00:40:52
    fit them we tend to focus on the traits
  • 00:40:54
    that we think are important and ignore
  • 00:40:56
    the ones we don't and this is where it
  • 00:40:58
    gets a little bit odd because throughout
  • 00:41:00
    all of history we focused almost
  • 00:41:01
    entirely on shallow and superficial
  • 00:41:03
    things I have no idea how anybody ever
  • 00:41:05
    originally came to the conclusion you
  • 00:41:06
    could tell everything you need to know
  • 00:41:08
    about somebody's inner character by the
  • 00:41:09
    pigmentation of their skin but there you
  • 00:41:11
    have it it's not somebody's age or race
  • 00:41:15
    or weight or ancestry or ethnicity that
  • 00:41:18
    matters most it's who they are as a
  • 00:41:20
    person we just need to remind ourselves
  • 00:41:22
    of that we don't have to do
  • 00:41:24
    this now the good news is and the reason
  • 00:41:26
    I'm talking about all this today being
  • 00:41:29
    aware of these things is enough to help
  • 00:41:30
    us avoid
  • 00:41:32
    them and the other good news is if
  • 00:41:34
    you're listening to me right now there's
  • 00:41:35
    a good chance you're the kind of person
  • 00:41:37
    who really truly wants to learn and to
  • 00:41:38
    grow and apply these things and become a
  • 00:41:40
    better person and we all can that's the
  • 00:41:43
    great news bad news is it's a little
  • 00:41:45
    easier to say than to do it's pretty
  • 00:41:47
    easy for me to say let's stop doing it
  • 00:41:49
    it's harder to actually stop doing it
  • 00:41:51
    but I do have a practical actionable
  • 00:41:54
    suggestion something we can all start
  • 00:41:56
    doing today that will
  • 00:41:58
    help and that is to refer to everybody
  • 00:42:01
    as people or human beings because the
  • 00:42:04
    words we use matter they have an impact
  • 00:42:07
    on how we think about things for example
  • 00:42:11
    fish would you rather have orange ruffy
  • 00:42:13
    for dinner tonight or slim head I know
  • 00:42:16
    which one I'd pick here's the problem
  • 00:42:18
    those are two labels two names for the
  • 00:42:20
    exact same fish when we call it orange
  • 00:42:23
    ruffy it sounds pretty good I mean
  • 00:42:25
    honestly talking about it right now is
  • 00:42:26
    making me a little bit hungry I like
  • 00:42:27
    fish I'd be happy to have orange ruffy
  • 00:42:29
    for dinner
  • 00:42:30
    tonight do I want slime head for dinner
  • 00:42:33
    no I do not want slime head for dinner I
  • 00:42:36
    would like to avoid slim head at all
  • 00:42:37
    possible costs I'd like to stay as far
  • 00:42:39
    away from slim head as possible the
  • 00:42:42
    labels we apply to things matter when
  • 00:42:44
    you call the Fish orange ruffy it sounds
  • 00:42:46
    delicious when you call it slim head it
  • 00:42:50
    sounds disgusting to us the labels we
  • 00:42:52
    use matter because they have a direct
  • 00:42:54
    impact on how we think about things and
  • 00:42:56
    how we receive them and that's true for
  • 00:42:59
    people as well as soon as we start to
  • 00:43:01
    use generic or dehumanizing labels for
  • 00:43:03
    an entire category of people we have
  • 00:43:06
    stopped thinking about them as
  • 00:43:08
    individuals and started to think about
  • 00:43:09
    them as one of those people so let's
  • 00:43:13
    stop using those labels literally refer
  • 00:43:15
    to everybody as people or human beings
  • 00:43:18
    the things we need to keep in mind here
  • 00:43:20
    is there's no such thing as an accurate
  • 00:43:22
    stereotype there's no statement anyone
  • 00:43:24
    can make that applies equally to an
  • 00:43:26
    entire Cate of people and more
  • 00:43:28
    importantly any statement we make about
  • 00:43:30
    an entire category of outgroup members
  • 00:43:32
    is going to also be true for some of the
  • 00:43:34
    members of our ingroup our ingroup is
  • 00:43:36
    not loaded with Saints we are all human
  • 00:43:38
    beings some are great some are
  • 00:43:40
    not let's look at some of these common
  • 00:43:43
    stereotypical statements if we just
  • 00:43:45
    substitute the words people or human all
  • 00:43:47
    people are lazy well obviously that's
  • 00:43:49
    not true you can't trust humans well
  • 00:43:51
    clearly you can trust some human beings
  • 00:43:54
    people are terrible drivers well
  • 00:43:56
    obviously not all people are terrible
  • 00:43:57
    drivers my personal favorite human
  • 00:43:59
    beings aren't like us they're
  • 00:44:03
    different these statements all look
  • 00:44:06
    obviously false and obviously incorrect
  • 00:44:09
    because stereotypes only make sense to
  • 00:44:11
    us when we apply them to Outsiders when
  • 00:44:13
    we apply them to people that we already
  • 00:44:14
    think of as
  • 00:44:16
    interchangeable and we don't have to do
  • 00:44:18
    that the reason why these statements
  • 00:44:20
    don't make sense when you use words like
  • 00:44:22
    people and human is because stereotypes
  • 00:44:24
    don't make
  • 00:44:25
    sense we need to remind ourselves on a
  • 00:44:28
    regular basis that we are all human
  • 00:44:30
    beings every one of
  • 00:44:33
    us what that means is if we think of
  • 00:44:36
    people or humans as our ingroup then
  • 00:44:38
    there really is no outgroup it's when we
  • 00:44:40
    start distinguishing ourselves from each
  • 00:44:41
    others that the whole ingroup outgroup
  • 00:44:43
    dynamic starts to matter if we can avoid
  • 00:44:45
    creating the outg group in the first
  • 00:44:47
    place we don't even really have to worry
  • 00:44:49
    too hard about avoiding Collective
  • 00:44:50
    liability or conservation error because
  • 00:44:53
    those only happen once we've already
  • 00:44:54
    started to think of people as them or
  • 00:44:56
    those people people if we call everybody
  • 00:44:59
    people then everybody's in our in group
  • 00:45:02
    second thing we need to constantly
  • 00:45:03
    remind ourselves of is that we are all
  • 00:45:05
    individuals no two people are exactly
  • 00:45:07
    alike let alone two million or two
  • 00:45:11
    billion we need to remind ourselves on a
  • 00:45:13
    regular daily basis all people are
  • 00:45:16
    unique and most of them are good let's
  • 00:45:20
    try hard to be the good ones thank
  • 00:45:25
    you
  • 00:45:55
    e
  • 00:46:25
    e
  • 00:46:55
    e e
  • 00:47:28
    I didn't unmute myself um so what I want
  • 00:47:30
    you to think about in this
  • 00:47:32
    situation is um in this this video is
  • 00:47:36
    your thought question what is collective
  • 00:47:38
    liability and give an example of that um
  • 00:47:43
    and I G just gave an example but I
  • 00:47:44
    didn't unmute my mic so you may not have
  • 00:47:46
    heard it but an example of that would be
  • 00:47:49
    when you uh like I did with some Latino
  • 00:47:52
    people drivers who in when I lived in
  • 00:47:55
    California who Del liberally tried to
  • 00:47:57
    hit my car and then they didn't actually
  • 00:47:59
    hit it but then I pulled over and they
  • 00:48:01
    pulled over and they said oh you hit our
  • 00:48:03
    car um you owe us money or something
  • 00:48:05
    like that and so then what I did in my
  • 00:48:07
    mind because I had heard about people
  • 00:48:09
    going around doing that is saying Latino
  • 00:48:12
    people you know are crooked and they
  • 00:48:15
    want to get your money and they doing
  • 00:48:17
    these fraud fraudulent things so I'm
  • 00:48:19
    making all one
  • 00:48:21
    group um be punished or in my mind
  • 00:48:25
    considered bad when only those people
  • 00:48:27
    did that and I definitely had to get a
  • 00:48:31
    uh a change of my mindset with that but
  • 00:48:34
    you go by the event that happened to you
  • 00:48:36
    and it was personal and it made you feel
  • 00:48:38
    a certain way but like he said in the
  • 00:48:40
    video you have to keep being aware that
  • 00:48:43
    it's not us and them but that we all
  • 00:48:46
    indiv all individuals and we can't lump
  • 00:48:49
    all one group of individuals has been
  • 00:48:51
    the same because we've seen in history
  • 00:48:53
    where that has caused some major
  • 00:48:55
    problems where Wars have come from that
  • 00:48:59
    when uh people are stereotyped and even
  • 00:49:01
    considered
  • 00:49:02
    dehumanized um we can see that also so
  • 00:49:06
    that's kind of what I want you to kind
  • 00:49:07
    of talk about in your video I mean in
  • 00:49:11
    your tech tech tech life and then the
  • 00:49:14
    next thing
  • 00:49:16
    is I want you to read this article I
  • 00:49:19
    think I have time to kind of go over it
  • 00:49:20
    a little are you biased and then and the
  • 00:49:25
    um the question is the answer to that
  • 00:49:28
    question is yes you are I sometimes in
  • 00:49:31
    my classes and just talking to people
  • 00:49:33
    they will say I don't see color uh how
  • 00:49:36
    could you not you know I would challenge
  • 00:49:39
    that and love to get any conversation
  • 00:49:41
    with anybody who says they don't see
  • 00:49:42
    color or they don't see race or they
  • 00:49:44
    don't see uh gender or they don't see
  • 00:49:48
    because that's just like he said that's
  • 00:49:50
    not how our brain our brain is always
  • 00:49:52
    kind of categorizing things to make
  • 00:49:54
    things simple and I like the way he said
  • 00:49:56
    that so as you read the article I want
  • 00:49:58
    you to say um what is implicit bias um
  • 00:50:03
    and I already told you where that's the
  • 00:50:05
    new buzz word I call it and give an
  • 00:50:07
    example of it and then what is a
  • 00:50:08
    microaggression Give an example so an
  • 00:50:11
    example of a microaggression is when you
  • 00:50:13
    do something to somebody that you
  • 00:50:15
    wouldn't do to somebody else for example
  • 00:50:17
    when I was in uh um Seminary school I
  • 00:50:22
    had gone to become um was going to get a
  • 00:50:25
    degree in Christian education
  • 00:50:27
    I remember um the girl who was my
  • 00:50:30
    roommate um she had never really been
  • 00:50:34
    around black people and so what happened
  • 00:50:36
    was she came up to me and she didn't ask
  • 00:50:40
    she just touched my hair and I was
  • 00:50:42
    thinking she says oh your hair is not
  • 00:50:45
    like you know uh something that I have
  • 00:50:48
    seen like before um you know it the
  • 00:50:51
    texture is different um or something and
  • 00:50:56
    and that to me and going to the example
  • 00:50:59
    is a microaggression when you and that's
  • 00:51:01
    on a well it wasn't minor at the time
  • 00:51:03
    but we got along really well we learn I
  • 00:51:05
    learned it was because she didn't know
  • 00:51:07
    she lived in a farm in Minnesota hadn't
  • 00:51:10
    been didn't have
  • 00:51:11
    TV uh didn't have you know being around
  • 00:51:15
    a lot of people of uh different cultures
  • 00:51:18
    and so we really got along well and I
  • 00:51:20
    learned about farming because I didn't
  • 00:51:21
    know anything about farms and living on
  • 00:51:23
    a farm um and then she learned a lot
  • 00:51:26
    about you know African-American culture
  • 00:51:28
    I remember her saying when I got good
  • 00:51:30
    grade she says oh wow you're pretty
  • 00:51:33
    smart you got good grades whereas I know
  • 00:51:36
    that the only thing she said she had
  • 00:51:38
    ever saw when she did get to see TV when
  • 00:51:40
    she was a teenager was Sanford and Son
  • 00:51:42
    and so she kind of had put all black
  • 00:51:44
    people in that kind of category of being
  • 00:51:48
    like the the Sanford and Sun uh
  • 00:51:52
    stereotype so um you what I would like
  • 00:51:55
    you to do is to talk about what is
  • 00:51:57
