This Video Explains How Racially Biased Double Standards Have Affected The Lives Of Working People
Racism in the USA has been a prevalent issue since the colonial era when slavery became a widespread issue all across the newly-colonized areas. Although it’s been years since slavery was abolished and the Civil Rights Act was signed, the horrible shadow of the past still looms over the modern day America.
Back in 2010, a social justice think tank The African American Policy Forum (AAPF) commissioned Erica Pinto to make a short film titled The Unequal Opportunity Race that focused on the issues people of color face and which affirmative action tries to alleviate. Although it’s been almost a decade since the video was originally posted, it’s been making rounds on social media sites again, where people had a lot to say about it.
The short film depicts a foot race with two white and two black runners. Although the first few seconds seem to show a regular sports event, things start to change the moment the race starts. As the two white runners dash forward, the black runners are stopped by a red light, with a board behind them showing “1493”. The numbers refer to the very start of colonialism when Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas. It was the beginning of hundreds of years of abuse, exploitation, and prejudice.
As the white runners make their way through the race, the black runners are still waiting for the red lights to go green, with numbers changing, indicating the passage of time when their people were essentially powerless against the colonial machine. Terms like “slavery”, “broken treaties”, “genocide”, and “manifest destiny” flash on the screen, reflecting the shameful moments of North American history. The video also mentions Dred Scott, a reference to a famous case where an enslaved man tried to win his freedom through court. In a 7–2 decision, the court denied Scott’s request, stating that “a negro, whose ancestors were imported into [the U.S.], and sold as slaves, whether enslaved or free, could not be an American citizen, and therefore had no standing to sue in federal court”.
But the prejudice and oppression spread outside of colonialism and slavery. One of the USA history moments mentioned in the video is the internment of Japanese Americans. During WWII, after Imperial Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the forced relocation and incarceration in concentration camps of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry. Over half of them were United States citizens. While some would argue that such actions were taken for security measures, it’s been widely accepted that such policy was the result of racism.
The video continues, showing how one of the white runners accumulated wealth through the year and passes it off to future generations, meanwhile, the runners left behind are waiting for their start. This highlights the wealth disparities between different races. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, black wealth is about 7 percent that of whites, as of 2014. This is one of the most impactful issues in the USA, despite the white population severely underestimating it, as a 2018 survey shows that whites think that black wealth is around 80 percent that of theirs.
The runners left behind finally start the race as the numbers behind them reach 1964. This refers to The Civil Rights Act of 1964, when discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin was finally outlawed. Although it was a historical landmark for the civil rights movement, it wasn’t a law that ended racial prejudice, and that is something the following parts of the short film focus on.
As the people of color try to catch up with the white runners, they face a number of obstacles that ultimately eliminate them from the race completely. Discrimination, poor schooling, underemployment, and racial profiling are just some of the hurdles the runners face, a reflection of what the American population has to overcome.
However, racial prejudice is not the only focus of the video. At the end, when the white man is shown winning the race with the help of white privilege and connections, the runner-up also has to face unequal race. This, perhaps, could be seen as an example of sexism that is just another issue in the current socio-political climate of the USA.
As with all social commentary, it’s small wonder that the Unequal Opportunity Race race video sparked a debate with varying opinions online. Some defended the video and the issues it tries to address, while others criticized it for promoting “white guilt”. As of February 27, 2019, the video has 6.2k upvotes and 10k downvotes on YouTube, indicating polarized opinions about it.

Share on FacebookI'm sorry for this but I believe that I have to say something. I personally believe that people are exaggerating discrimination. Instead of working hard and putting effort into tasks people are just calling racism and discrimination for everything. Now, I am not saying that certain groups are not discriminated against, i'm just saying that Its not nearly as prevalent as people think. Recently at my school the school newspaper published a peace about how LGBTQ+ students were being discriminated against at my school. I found that to be completely false. LGBTQ+ students are treated wonderfully at my school. They are respected, people don't call them out or bully them, infact, they have a LGBTQ+ EXCLUSIVE club. There is also a Black Student alliance. Black people only. Excuse me what? That sounds a little bit discriminatory against white people or asian people. People need to see past what has happened throughout history and try to fix things.
Just because you don’t notice discrimination doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. It’s easy to miss until it effects you.
Load More Replies...1. The video specifically pertains to the history of the United States. 2. White Irish were never enslaved in North America, many were indentured servants. There's a huge difference between indentured servitude and slavery. 3. Specific cases do not impeach the generalizations, which are correct. 4. People of the present are not at fault for the past but are obliged to work to better the present and the future of everyone. 5. Hope is not enough. Get busy. Insist on responsible government, better education, fairness and equity in the legal system. Vote.
You are right, white irish were never enslaved in.America. But African tribes enslaved The Celts. Ancient Irish, so since my people were enslaved first, who do I b***h to?.lol
Load More Replies...One thing that's always been curious to me is how whites aren't even allowed to be part of the conversation. Blacks want whites to change, but aren't willing to let whites ask questions, express views (even incorrect views have merit, they provide context and a place to discuss why the view is wrong), and generally learn something useful. Change requires cooperation, rather than flinging blame and shutting down conversation.
Maybe because everytime race is brought up white people always dismiss the conversation or blame it on black people. White people aren't comfortable talking about racism that they started. Black people have been explaining this over and over and even telling white people how they can help but they don't care. When racism is discussed White people don't even let black people express their experiences and emotions and make everything about them. White people I come across online don't even want to TRY to understand and pull excuses and justifications out their ass. Black people aren't the problem it's you guys who get defensive whenever the topic is brought up
Load More Replies...Two things. One; I'm a white British man and I view our history like Lord Voldermort, we did great things. Terrible things, but great things. And we really lucked out when it was our time at the top of the wheel. Two; the best way I've heard of showing privilege is the wastepaper basket lesson; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KlmvmuxzYE
Keeping in mind the video is about specifically the United States, it's pretty good, although a bit oversimplified. (Before the downvotes come, I want to explain the motivation for my approach. Europe as a whole is often attacked too, and most of times the accusations are based on USA experience. Now, that's wrong, because in Europe, fascists and nazzis imprisoned and tortured and discriminated against fellow Caucasians as well. We do have discrimination and racism for sure, but its roots are different. Connected, but different.)
The video might work at a very basic level and as an overview of history and prejudice. I would find it easier to learn from specific examples of prejudice. One compelling example for me: Neil deGrasse Tyson (black) has been followed around in stores, whereas I (white) haven't been treated like a potential shoplifter since my teen years. It’s easy to dismiss slavery as “long ago”, but not contemporary attitudes and experiences.
Kolvanov and TJler really need to be taken off this site :/ and John Smith has his damn evil moments too.
They should really just be pitied. I mean, think about how sad their real lives must be if this is how they choose to spend 24 hours a day. You'd basically have to be a loner with no love in your life, no friends, no family, nothing to make you happy but trolling. It's truly just sad. But also... I agree they should get the f**k out.
Load More Replies...I'm not racist in the slightest bit, i just f****n hate everyone.
I hate everyone equally You can't tear that out of me No segregation separation Just me in my world of enemies
Load More Replies...The best one I have seen is the teacher who gave the person money who could win the race the fastest. But then he gave certain runners a head start by asking questions which pertained mostly to white students. While the black students were still at the start line, most of the white students were past the halfway mark showing the disparity of blacks versus whites.
All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Load More Replies...At first I wanted to make some angry post... But after I saw this video, I must agree, that it is right, just message was taken in wrong way... For example when Afroamerican girl is sitting in front of that wall "Dead End" while white are making moving sidewalk? That is perfect metafor! Instead of finding way how to handle it, she just sits there and cry about her bad life... when somebody helps her out of the pit, she left him behind... And video is also not showing obsticles, that were there for white people as religion, also slavery from islamic countries, also way from school to prison for poor people, for example in Great Britain etc...
You mean discrimination, problem with money, legal issues, family problems, alcoholic father... Yeah, I faced them all. You know nothing about me and my life and just because I am white, has good job, good education, my own apartment at age of 26 does not mean, that I didnt have to deal with those things too... I did and I survived that all.
Load More Replies...hooray for the black people that overcome all these things...there are black people that succeed well despite the hurdles...and by the way, in a competitive economic system, we all have something that has to be overcome, even the super-rich & privileged...it just took four generations for poor irish immigrant family who came over here with nothing to get rich & put their great grandson in the white house...I am of course talking about the Kennedys & JFK...being irish, catholic, poor immigrants, and considered second class citizens did not stop them...only people who give up & stop competing are overwhelmed by all the things you point out...personal strength of character trumps anything you have pointed out as a hindrance for those who will succeed...
That is so mean! I hope that one day racism will be a thing of the past
I'd say dave4544 is correct. White people today do not need to apologize for the actions of white people who lived centuries ago. They can't control their skin color or what happened a long time ago. However, they can focus on helping non-white people(notice I said non-white and not just African American because Asians and biracials experience racism too) in the fight against discrimination.
Did you know that the percentage of black people in the US is 10% of the population? I'm stating this because movies and internet media like the one posted, always present this as if the populaton is 50% blacks-50% other races. It isn't. It's 1 black person to 9 other persons. This means that they will get analogically less opportunities from more numerous groups of ethnicities. Unless we are talking about the NBA!
I understand how people could be offended but I think it makes a good point. I don’t think white people now should be blamed for slavery and stuff but I do think they should acknowledge they will be given advantages in life.
I actually saw this yesterday, at a talk about racial bias. I never really thought of it. It does make white people look like horrible people, and that no person of color can ever succeed, which is totally false. There are white people living under the poverty line, and black people in the top 1%. I understand what the creators were trying to explain, but things have changed. It's not 1860 or 1950 anymore.
Chris Rock had a standup special once where he said that no ditch digging poor white guy would trade places with him even though he's rich. WTF? 99% of white guys would trade places with him in a heartbeat. Also, what a terrible message for young black kids to tell them it's better to be poor white trash than a rich beloved celebrity who was driven to the show in a limo.
Load More Replies...Standardized tests is not specifically a problems for blacks, all people are different, regardless of colour, and you can't make a test favour a specific demopgraphic unless you are talking about kids who are more inclined in certain subjects.
Oh. Of course. Because a single video that's not even mean is equal to f*****g slavery.
Load More Replies...Some of the points may be over exaggerated, or not presented right, like portraying that white people are still treating minorities the same since 1950, but it still does have a point.
Load More Replies...I just appreciate the giant check I get every month for being white....
Why do people downvote me when i ask why their are no asians and hispanics.
No Asians or Hispanics in the video? It wasn’t a video about us? We weren’t enslaved in developing America? Most of us are recently immigrated?
Load More Replies...we will never move forward as a whole humanity if we keep records and blames from the previous generations ... Should Belgium and France still be mad at Italians because of the Roman Empire? (i know it was way longer ago ) We need to unite for the stuff that really matters, our planet and the way we destroying it is one! We need to stop highlighting our differences and what would/could make us hate each other and start to to work on what we have in common and work together
Except that things from a long time ago still effect people today. If someone's parents went to segregated schools and dropped out in fifth grade that effects their child.
Load More Replies...The video should be redone with "people raised with both parents" vs. "people raised with one parent." True disparity is there.
Got to love revisionism I wonder if anyone knows that the first slave owner in the united states was black. his name was Anthony Johnson. This victim culture now a days is sickening. Lets blame the whites because of all the problems.
How simple minded. “Blacks held slaves too so everything equal now.” This is why people hate other people. No human should be allowed to be that dumb.
Load More Replies...I like the small touch in the end that, while much less so, even the white girl got cheated on. However they didn't touch on that inside the POC team, where gender discrimination must exist as well.
My wife, a white woman from a white family, grew up on dirt floors...literally. My mother’s side of the family are immigrants from Central America who came here the right way. They didn’t speak a word of English. But ALL of our family pulled themselves up by the bootstraps, worked hard, and made something of themselves. I have my masters and a good job and my wife has her Ph.D. and a good job. Nothing was handed to us, yet here we are. The irony is that this video is in itself racist and prejudice. Only idiots with racial biases in their hearts show this type of video. They should be ashamed. Why don’t we look at our similarities?
Sometimes, just sometimes, people are actually responsible for their own failure. This item is just another "I stick in my thumb and pull out a plum and say what a good boy am I."
I just hate how people are telling "white people are opressors". Wtf - I'm russian and yeah I'm white, but guess what - my family have been opressed and treated like slaves by its own goverment. Why do you think there was a revolition at 1917?! And in USSSR it wasn't any better with Gulag and other "great" places. And now I moved to Europe and... I am confronting racism from some random people, just cause my goverment doesn't fit them. Well it doesn't fit me too, that's why I migrate. But why the hell I have to be put in one corner "opressors", based only on my skin color? It's sucks when people are telling "you are priviliged cause you are white". Go and try to live in any small city in Russia with no normal job, shity system and bunch of poor relatives. See how priviliged you going to feel.
Read articles about Afro-Russians and African students in Russia. It isn’t easy for a lot of people to be white in Russia, but it certainly is even more difficult to be any other race.
Load More Replies...The video is not even historically accurate. Black slavery in the US didn't start in 1492, and actually when the colonies were founded the first slaves were Irish. Also, I don't think that the Italian or Polish immigrants from the last century had much to pass onto their offspring. I think the video would have made more sense by displaying, for instance, the year the first black justice was appointed.
The Irish were indentured servants, NOT slaves. They took on debt to get passage to the ''new world'' (USA) and agreed to work for free until they're debt was paid. They signed a contract and their children were not indentured servants too. Read unbiased sources and learn the truth.
Load More Replies...But how? The idea is that people like to deny racism, sexism and discrimination due to internal biases they re-enforce throughout their lives. Its often hard to accept the truth or different viewpoints even presented with facts. Look at the data and the history behind the data. Look at the big picture and you will their is hypocrisy on all sides but the truth is prejudice is real and it is costing the country billions and should be addressed Ps. You know it only cost %1 of gdp to lift EVERY POOR PERSON in america out of poverty yet we spend twice as much on missiles each year
