Movie "Brown eye's, Blue eye's"

The movie that we watched in class was very powerful and a showed me and all of the students in the movie how racism affects people of color. I think that the lady in the movie is a hero because she is trying to stop discrimination a little at a time. In the movie she shows how people of color are signaled out by making all of the students without brown eyes sit in the middle of the room while the students with the brown eyes are faced towards them. She treated the kids without brown eyes terrible because that is unfortunately how people of color are treated. The girl that left the seminar crying seen how people of color are treated on a daily basis, but she had the opportunity to leave. Jane Elliot explains how people of color do not have an opportunity to leave, they must stay and take the abuse. This is a very interesting style of teaching how racism and segregation affect people of color. It showed me how hard it is to be a person of color. I know if I was treated like the "blue eyes" were everyday I would think that I was inferior and would want to be more like the "brown eyes." Jane reiterated that whites are treated differently because of privilege and no matter what the "blue eyes" did they would not be seen as equal to the "brown eyes." The "blue eyes" were treated differently because they did not have brown eyes and that is the only reason why they were treated differently.
