Video Notes

16th January'2017

VIDEO- Finding your Roots

Sanjay Gupta-
-a neurosurgeon

-Unusual being Indian
-not fun
-being treated differently

Margaret Cho-
- a comedian
- an immigrant
- is curious to know more about her authenticity

Martha Stewart-
-her father wasn't treated equally
-her father felt isolated
-she used to get mad about this unfair behaviour
-never wants to forget being an immgrant


Immigrants- 2nd class citizens

In this video, 3 immigrants from different corners of the world shared their stories living in America. Most of these people felt uncomfortable. People around them weren't accepting. Martha Stewart's story was about her FATHER feeling isolated and being treated unfairly and she wanting to connect to her roots but Sanjay Gupta's story was about HIM being from India and discriminated. A whole generation gap.  I see here how American's have accepted immigrants looking alike but Indians are still facing different types of discrimination.

VIDEO- I am not black, You are not white

- Labels/ we accept them without doubting them
- Forced to own their bodies
- Race was in the 15th century to divide people
- Judgemental, artificial labels
- Divisions starts conflict, conflict starts war.

This video talked about not only racism of colour, but discrimination of body. It was all about what is inside and bodies are only their to drive around. It talked about being forced to own our bodies and being judged for how our BODY looks.
