In this project, I learned a lot of things about my classmates that I didn’t know before. I learned about their (or their family/friends) experiences with prejudice. Many of the stories told were about racism, but there were other forms of prejudice shown as well. All of them had to do with both prejudice and identity, as the people in the stories were treated unfairly because of their identity. In the ones about racism, stereotypes were typically mentioned as a contributing factor to the racism. I saw all four of the key words being demonstrated in the presentations. In the first lesson, I knew racism and prejudice were bad, and I had some idea of what all of the words meant. After learning through the videos and the prejudice presentations, I feel a more personal connection and I can really understand what these concepts mean. At the beginning, I thought it was a distant thing that never really affected me too much. Now, I know more about it.
