Summary
“Even nice Canadians are racist … “. In this program, Jane Elliott presents a controversial workshop showing how the systemic racism and discrimination suffered by First Nations people and other minorities in Canada really works. Putting people with "brown eyes" in a position of power over a group of "blue eyes" to turn the tables on racism, Elliott then treats the "blue eyes" as persons of colour, confronting and browbeating them, while treating the "brown eyes" with respect. The program includes interviews with First Nations participants about their racist experiences, interviews with the "blue eyes" participants regarding their feelings about the workshop, and insights that participants from both sides brought away with them.
