Did you ever see that experiment by Jane Elliot, where she devided her fourth grade class into two groups... Blue Eyed and Brown Eyed.
"...In the "Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes" experiment in 1970, Elliot divided her third-grade class in Riceville, Iowa, into two groups based on eye color. The children with blue eyes were told they were better than the children with brown eyes. While the blue-eyed children were encouraged in their studies and given special privileges, the brown-eyed children were told not to use the drinking fountain and not to play with the blue-eyed children... "
I remember seeing that video in either a psych or sociology class. Pretty cool
