ABC News hidden camera expirements racism in America. - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jnfg9i4IsE[/media] Very interesting, sad and good at the same time.

:wtc: [editline].,.,.,.[/editline] Maybe some of you don't know what I meant by WTC...I'm saying that towards the people who didn't do shit/joined with the actor.

I was going to say that such stuff was cut together, then I was going to say that that bakery guy is crazy, that people dont react is really no big deal.

My reaction [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35TbGjt-weA[/media]

What a fake racist. Yea because a real racist would act like a stereotypical idiot and risk his job and customers to get his point across. My point is he's not acting like a real racist he's acting like a douchebag idiot. Oh I forgot these are American racists. Makes sense then.

I can't say I'd step in if I witnessed it. Call me both a pussy and a slave to the bystander effect or whatever, but I don't generally want to get involved in things. I'd probably just leave in protest like the people towards the middle of the video.

I always step up for people, and last time I did I was threatened death and stuff, he even tried to punch me in the face. He now wishes he never met me, he got absolutely no money at all, is beeing flown out of the country and is on probation in his country.

Wasn't there more videos of this series?

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;26506538]Wasn't there more videos of this series?[/QUOTE] Jews. But the reactions were extremely [positively] different, no one stood there at all; they all rushed to his/her defense.

I really hate the string of these shows they made. They make people who dont want to get involved and just want to go about there day out to be assholes. If I was there I would do the same thing and just stand there. I bet the smug host would just stand there aswell.

[QUOTE=starpluck;26507616]Which is why it explained how it's worrying for her (she's targeted [I]frequently[/I]) No one would give two shits if anything happened to her.[/QUOTE] They werent beating her in front of people, they where denying her some baked goods. Theres a very big difference.

Obviously haven't been to Denmark.

[QUOTE=BusterBluth;26507694]They werent beating her in front of people, they where denying her some baked goods. Theres a very big difference.[/QUOTE] Bystander effect would still most likely apply. Even though she was being denied baked goods based on her religion and people did nothing, it'd show at least a small correlation if something real happened. [editline]5th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Sinbues;26507674]Got a link?[/QUOTE] No, I saw both on TV

The first part was hilarious, and then I found out that they were both actors...

[QUOTE=TAU!;26507875]The first guy was either an actor or a complete asshole. Seriously.[/QUOTE] Do you guys ever listen to the video? The clerk is an actor working with ABC News.

[/QUOTE] I dont think you can compare the way people react to a person being denied a service to the way they would react to a beating or fight. I think this whole show is flawed due to most people just want to remain out of conflict. Most of the people standing by would have done so regardless if she was muslim or not.

All Americans are immigrants. In fact a few of the first people to move there were called terrorists. Boston tea party etc

[QUOTE=starpluck;26507891]Do you guys ever listen to the video? The clerk is an actor working with ABC News.[/QUOTE] I realized that after unpausing. Yeah, I was kind of outraged before realizing they are actors (then I felt like an idiot.)

People who rated the OP dumb would have sided with the clerk. People who rated the OP heart would have stood up for the Muslim. People who rated the OP informative wouldn't do squat.

I seen one and it was a restraunt owner raping a waitress infront of a bunch of people. Maybe it was just porn...

Silly americans hating on other races when you stole the fucking continent.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;26508232]Silly americans hating on other races [b]when you stole the fucking continent.[/b][/QUOTE] No one around today was involved in that, and multiple countries during the time were involved in that. I'm sorry, FPChris, for not going by your history books. Spain, France, Britain, and other countries were claiming territories in both North and South America. No [i]single[/i] nation was responsible for this. The same thing happened with Africa and Asia.

thats just sad and unappealing

[QUOTE=johan_sm;26508232]Silly americans hating on other races when you stole the fucking continent.[/QUOTE] Yeah I think it's stupid how we forced Native Americans out of their own country and then gave them some very minuscule amounts of land to live in.
