TEACHSOC: Minority/Race/Ethnic Groups

[Kristen Hefley]

Good morning!   For those of you teaching Minority, Race, or Ethnicity classes or teach classes with this as part of the course, there is a new show on FX called “Black White,” in which using make-up, a white family is given stereotypically black skin and hair, a black family is given stereotypically white skin and hair, and then the families live together to teach each other how to “pass” in each other’s culture and discuss what happens to them.  Hidden cameras capture what happens to them as they are out and about in their communities.  It comes on Wednesday nights at 9:00 central.  It is absolutely enthralling!   Here is the website for it to get more info:  http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/blackwhite/main.html     Kristen Hefley University of Oklahoma Department of Sociology Kaufman Hall 331 780 Van Vleet Oval Norman, OK 73019 (405) 325-1751 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Teaching Sociology" group.
