Nature of children, prejudice, and racial identification. The video, “A Girl Like Me,” by Kiri Davis,
We are (or will be) discussing in class the nature of children, prejudice, and racial identification. The video, “A Girl Like Me,” by Kiri Davis, is in part a replication of the doll studies originally conducted by Clark & Clark (1954). For this discussion question, watch the video, and think about what you see. What do you make of Ms. Davis’ replication and the study by CNN? Based on Ms. Davis’ study and the interviews she conducts, is there reason to believe that minority group members suffer from low self-esteem? If so, why? If not, why not? Feel free to comment on the video, the NPR news report and editorial, or anything else related to the video.
