I enjoyed watching this video. I have seen some similar videos but I really like how this illustrated the study. This would be a good tool to use with a group of people during a professional learning session. So many items resonated with me. The statement about your immediate thoughts come from your upbringing and what part of the country you are from. I think about my own up brining from a small New England town. It wasn't until I went to college in Europe and travelled to various countries that my perceptions changed. It is so important to expand your knowledge by learning about other people from their perspectives.
I thought the information how doctors prescribe less pain medicine to blacks than whites is so scary. I have also read studies that during labor women of color are not giving the same level of care or their concerns taken as seriously leading to preventable medical complications.
I found the Harvard study to be very interesting and telling when it found that 70% of the white people who participated in the study associated negative connotations with people of color than whites.
When we look at the pandemic and the statistics of the high unemployment rate for people of color the research supports this when research found that white applicants received 50% more responses than black applicants who had the same qualifications.
The good news is that stereotypes can be unlearned. The example that resonated with me is the % of women selected to play in professional orchestras. When applicants did a blink audition, the % of females hired doubled vs an audition where the panel could see the person who was performing.
