  1. “What does racism look like?” • Learning objectives: • To be able to understand and recognise that racism comes in many different forms. • To be able to understand that racism can be subtle as well as obvious. • To be able to understand why it is important to be able to identify racism.

  2. Class Quiz: Is this racist? Race Equality Sandwell and the University of Kent conducted research with 1370 young people in secondary schools in Sandwell. They wanted to find out what they think about racism and their experiences of it. We gave the pupils different behaviours and asked them… “Is this racist?”

  3. According to our survey, how many young people thought this was racism…. Insulting someone because of their ethnic/racial background, but not meaning it.

  4. According to our survey, how many young people thought this was racism…. Calling someone of the same ethnic/racial background to yourself a racist word

  5. According to our survey, how many young people thought this was racism…. Not wanting to make friends with someone because of their ethnic/racial background

  6. According to our survey, how many young people thought this was racism…. Having negative attitudes about someone because they are a different ethnic/racial background to yourself

  7. According to our survey, how many young people thought this was racism…. Telling a joke to friends about someone’s ethnic/racial background

  8. So what did they say… Insulting someone because of their ethnic/racial background, but not meaning it

  9. So what did they say… Calling someone of the same ethnic/racial background to yourself a racist word

  10. So what did they say… Not wanting to make friends with someone because of their ethnic/racial background

  11. So what did they say…? Having negative attitudes about someone because they are a different ethnic/racial background to yourself

  12. So what did they say… Telling a joke to friends about someone’s ethnic/racial background

  13. All the behaviours…

  14. What do you think? Think about.. • Are there any responses you are surprised about? • Which ones are you surprised about (if any), and why are they surprising? • What would they have expected to find instead? • There are a substantial number of young people in Sandwell who cannot identify racist behaviours – what do you think about this? • Considering this lesson, would they find it easier to identify racist behaviours?
