This is shocking. I would never have guessed that this could be done on the basis of ethics or lack of informed consent today. I suspect this experiment would be illegal today. If it is a legal, recent experiment, that's amazing.
My thanks to tttbnr for bringing the brown eye blue eye, Jane Elliott video to my attention.
The experiment also appears in a Frontline broadcast. The broadcast shows this lesson in racism being taught to adults such as prison guards. It appears to me to be probably the single best way to get the point of what white privilege really means across to people (like me) who do not fully understand the reality of the concept.
