hey all, ive been asked to give a presentation on racism and stereotypes and equality and all that. has anyone done this before? is there a resource out there with like a lesson plan for this? also, what do i need to watch out for in order to avoid being flamed like medama sensei? so far i think i wanna explain stuff like the psychology behind racism (how stereotypes are perpetuated and reinforced, how they affect our behavior, etc) and then go into the history of racism in the US, but anything other than that im kinda unsure if i have enough tact for. any help would be appreciated~ |

I had to do one for high schoolers a few months back. I kind of built my own thing.
I started with a game showing differences and similitues, talked about different types of discrimination, did a quiz about diversity (is this person Japanese or Canadian?) before delving into the subject a bit more. Talked about racism in Canada and Japan (indluding many examples from ALTs on FB, etc.). I also talked about blatant racism vs institutional racism.
My supervisor also did a small presentation on foreigners coming to Japan, the depopulation problem and immigration as a solution.
I think that they all knew racism was bad, but didn't necessarily realize what it was like. My points were that it's okay to like your country, but you have to realize that it has problems and it's important to fix them for everyone.

I didn’t even think about blatant vs institutional racism so that’s a good point to make to them. What game did you play to show differences and similarities? |

On the subject of institutional racism, one thing I've talked about before is how there aren't really anti-discrimination laws in Japan.

I also used the game as my self-introduction, so I asked a bunch of question and had everyone separate in groups (e.g. people in sports club to the left, BUMKA club to the right and no club in the middle). The last question was "who is human?"

so i ended up doing this twice, and it was pretty hard both times.
a couple of things i learned was
1. i think we (well, me at least) underestimate the level of 人権 education that japanese students receive nowadays
2. i still dont have a good way to deal with "i hate america" type statements
