There’s a lot here, so let’s get started.
Here’s a link to the Implicit Association Test we mentioned in this episode: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/

BUT HOW DOES PREJUDICE HAPPEND?
Except implicit bias testing has been debunked as malleable from day one. Meaning it's unproven that it even exists.
BLACK LIVES MATTER
DEFUND THE POLICE
The IAT test is totally unfair and rigged. They place good words and "norm" on one side several times and tie them together, then bad with other on the other side and tie them together several times. Then reverse it and when you can't retrain your brain in 1 maybe 2 rounds you're a racist or sexist or whatever. Totally rigged.
hmm
It breaks my heart that this video was extremely relevant 5 years ago when it was made and is STILL relevant. Active discrimination and prejudice against certain individuals with “unconventional” backgrounds is still a problem that runs rampant in our society. It’s time to educate and inform our current generations on what needs to change.
All the things he mentioned in this video are so prevalent in the things that are going on today. So many people are fighting for their own in-group at the expense of taking down others. Rather than being hostile, we should educate on the subject by watching videos like this one that makes it easier for us to understand. By doing this, we can make this whole world a better place.
I feel that this CrashCourse is very relevant for today's society especially with everything going on with racism. I would have to say not just racism but this could be targeted towards Mental Illness as well. Many people are prejudice and discriminate people who have mental illness and they don't take the time to learn about that person. It could be how someone was raise to have views towards that topic. Very good video to inform people about Prejudice and Discrimination.

Implicit Association "is surprisingly predictive of discriminatory behavior in all kinds of experimental settings." Yes it is true in simple experimental settings but it doesn't mean at all that it is predictive for – usually extremely complex – real life behavior.
Every politician should do an IAT…
It is interesting to learn that the difference between prejudice and discrimination is action. I also found the part about in-group bias very interesting. It's fascinating how peoples' minds associate things and then consequences of those judgments.
I think we've done a great job at bringing lots of awareness to issues like this in the U.S. and the western world. However, I can't help but think how non-western countries aren't as informed as we are, yet the amount of prejudice and discrimination seems almost the same… I'm optimistic, but sometimes I can't help but think that things will remain the same in the world.
I remember being part of an in-group out-group experiment in elementary school. I'm 58. We've know about this stuff for a couple generations now. It hasn't helped change it. Why?
I found this video to be very informational. I believe that as a Western country who host countless of mental health conferences and such each year, we have to do a better job of spreading information to these non-Western countries in order to rid the discrimination people suffering from mental illnesses face.
I find this video vey informational. I wish more people understood this and new what was going on in today's society.
I know this has nothing to do with what's going on with black lives matter but how do black lives matter when your part of lgbqt community isn't that genocide. Also if black lives matter why don't you help each other rise up or help each other daily not just for evil purposes but from your heart without excepting anything in return I'm sorry I had to bring it up though just curious
thnx really helped me
Prejudice and discrimination have been prevalent in this country since its founding. It’s frustrating to know that some things are never bound to change.
Segregation apparently didn't work. And integration apparently is not working.
the police is corrupted
Want more Truth? read my comment.
Thank you for giving facts and not JUST opinion(not that all videos about…"this"… Are just opinion) WE LOVE YOUU
I doubt discriminating against a fat person because we think they are lazy for a job that constantly requires them to exert themselves is discriminatory hanks. People aren't born fat they become fat and that can hinder them physically. It isn't some subtle stuff like their skin color that doesn't affect their ability to do stuff
Standard police protocol, You never know what they are reaching for, It could be a gun, It could be keys, if someone (any race) gets up and walks away from the police, that raises suspicion.
There is no wage gap, change my mind with actual proof.
Thanks for this video, I got a lot.
Is anyone else watching this because of what happened to George Floyd
With all respect sir, you talk too fast like a machine gun.
Speaking too fast to register.
For every story, where a black man is unjustly killed, there is equal or more white people killed the same way. Anecdotal cases need to stop being used as debate ammo.
