Blue eyed

Jane Elliott continues her fight against prejudice, ignorance and racism. In her workshops, she divides people into blue or brown eyes. She declares the latter to be better and more intelligent and grants them privileges. People experience the feeling of being discriminated against, in the same way that society today discriminates against women, people with different skin colour or disabilities.

  • "Jane Elliott, ehemalige Lehrerin aus dem Mittelwesten der USA, führt seit über 20 Jahren einen engagierten Kampf gegen Vorurteile, Ignoranz und Rassismus in ihrer Gesellschaft. Was sie nach dem Tode von Martin Luther King jun. 1968 mit ihren Schülern begann, praktiziert sie heute mit Lehrern, Studenten, Feuerwehrleuten oder ganzen Bankbelegschaften. In Workshops teilt sie die Menschen nach einem willkürlichen körperlichen Merkmal ein in BLAUÄUGIGE und BRAUNÄUGIGE. Letztere erklärt sie für besser und intelligenter und stattet sie mit Privilegien aus, die sie den Blauäugigen, die sie als schlecht, minderwertig und dümmer abqualifiziert, nicht gewährt. Viele Weiße erspüren hier zum ersten Mal das Gefühl, zu denen zu gehören, die nie gewinnen können, und so behandelt zu werden, wie die Gesellschaft Frauen behandelt, Farbige oder Menschen, die körperlich abweichend sind. Innerhalb von 15 Minuten schafft Jane Elliott einen Mikrokosmos unserer Gesellschaft mit allen Phänomenen und Gefühlen, die auch in der Realität aufscheinen. Ähnlich wie bei dem berühmt-berüchtigten Milgram-Experiment können sich selbst Teilnehmer, die voll über die "Spielregeln" informiert sind, nicht ihrer Rolle entziehen. Aus dem Spiel wird grausame Realität, die einige Teilnehmer in unvorhergesehene Gefühlstiefen stürzt... (Quelle: denkmal-film.com)."

  • "Follow up on Jane Elliot's "A class divided", Jane conducts workshops on discrimination based on her research and experiment in "A class divided". "A class divided" looks at a simple classroom exercise first used by a teacher in a small town Iowa school in 1968, to help her pupils understand why Martin Luther King had been assassinated. Jane Elliot divided her class of eight year olds into blue-eyed and brown-eyed children, discriminating against each group on alternate days. The "better" children were encouraged to feel superior and allowed extra time at recess. The deprived group were not allowed seconds at lunchtime, to drink out of the same water foundation or to play with the others. They were made to wear collars to set them apart. By the end of the first afternoon the "better" children had begun taunting their brown eyed peers. A test showed that the demoralised children were performing academically worse."
  • "Die letzten 20 Jahre widmete Jane Elliott, früher Lehrerin im Mittleren Westen der USA, dem Kampf gegen Vorurteile, Ignoranz und Rassismus. Als der schwarze Bürgerrechtler Martin Luther King ermordet wurde, fragte sie sich, wie sie ihren wohlbehüteten, ausschliesslich weissen Schülern begreiflich machen könnte, was es heisst, wegen der Hautfarbe diskriminiert und unterprivilegiert zu sein. Heute führt sie Workshops durch, in denen sie das Konzept, das sie 1968 mit ihrer Schulklasse entwickelt hat, weiterführt: Eine Gruppe wird nach einer willkürlich gewählten physischen Eigenschaft aufgeteilt, z.B. der Farbe der Augen. Die Braunäugigen erklärt sie zu intelligenteren Menschen und garantiert ihnen Privilegien, die den Blauäugigen vorenthalten werden. Durch dieses Konstrukt erfahren weisse Workshopteilnehmer hautnah, zu einer Gruppe zu gehören, die niemals gewinnen kann (Quelle: Umschlag)."
  • "Jane Elliott believes that white people won't act against racism until they have experienced it emotionally themselves, if only for a few hours in a controlled environment. The "blue eyed/brown eyed" exercise was originally developed by Jane Elliott for her all white third grade class in Riceville, Iowa at the time of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination to give them some idea of racial prejudice. She divided her class on the basis of eye color and subjected the blue-eyed members to a regime of intense discrimination. They soon cracked under the pressure, losing self-esteem and competence. Filmed for German television, this edition of "Blue Eyed" showcases Jane Elliott as diversity trainer, using the powerful and controversial "blue eyed/brown eyed" exercise with real people, presented in three separate versions so it can be conveniently used in any training or educational setting."@en
  • "Over the past 20 years, Jane Elliott, a former teacher in the midwest USA, has committed herself to leading a fight against prejudice, ignorance and racism in society. For the first time, many white people become acquainted with the feeling of belonging to a condemned group which can never win."
  • "A documentary about discrimination and prejudice. An unsettling look at ex-schoolteacher Jane Elliott's workshops which attempt to change racist attitudes in the USA. Her methods are considered demeaning, bullying and coercive by many but she has been conducting workshops for 30 years as a "diversity trainer". She is seen as a reverse racist by some and a dynamic change agent by others. This program exposes her methods showing how she selects all the blue eyed people in the workshop and has the other participants discrimate against them arbitrarily. A contrived effort with uncomfortable nastiness to induce behaviour change."

  • "This video is a concise version of 'Blue eyed' "concentrating all the drama and insight of the original [...] Jane Elliott believes that the best way to fight racism and sexism is to make people experience it themselves, even if only for a brief period in a highly controlled environment. She divides a group arbitrarily between brown and blue eyed participants and then subjects the blue eyed participants to a regime of abuse, intimidation and disrespect. It is amazing to watch how in just a few minutes trained professionals become so distracted they stumble over even the most rudimentary tasks. Black members of the group confirm that this is the kind of treatment they must live with every day. [...] an effective tool for helping adults understand the pressures they and society at large place on certain classes of citizen, not just African Americans, but other minorities, women and the disabled. The film can shock people out of their complacency and realize that racism is alive and well"--California Newsreel Website."@en

She uses the same basic technique as she used with her grade three class in Iowa in 1970, shown in the films Eye of the Storm and A class divided. Her method of discriminating against one group using colour as the sole criterion for inferiority is shown to be as devastatingly effective for adults as it was for children in teaching the realities of racism."@en

  • "Participants take part in a workshop about appreciating diversity. The group is divided according to eye color. Jan Elliott, a behavioural psychologist, is unrelenting in her ridicule and humiliation of the blue-eyed people. When participants express sadness, shame and tears, she drills in the point that participants only have to live this reality during the workshop, while people of color receive this treatment for a lifetime. We see clips of Elliott's original video "Eye of the Storm," filmed in the late 1960s."@en
  • ""Blue Eyed" is a confronting documentary in which we witness Jane Elliot at work as she conducts a workshop about prejudice and racism. She divides a group of participants into two groups - blue eyed and brown eyed people - and demonstrates the emotional impact of discrimination."
  • "In Blue Eyed we meet a group of 40 teachers, policemen, school administrators and social workers in/from Kansas City - Blacks, Hispanics, Whites, men and women. The "blue eyed" participants are confronted with pseudo-scientific explanations of their inferiority, culturally biased IQ tests and discrimination. Within a few hours under Elliott's destructive power we see how adult persons despair and (almost) go crazy, not being able to cope with the simplest orders. Similar to the famous-infamous Milgram experiment, the participants, who are fully informed about the "rules of the game", can not escape their role. Cruel reality emerges from the game that plunges some participants into unforeseen emotional depths."

  • "Summary: Jane Elliot, a former teacher in the mid-west USA, shows that xenophobia has nothing to do with the color of people's skin or ethnic origin, but has to do with social categories as superior or inferior poor or rich, on top or on the bottom. It is xenophobia that makes women, homosexuals, the disabled and the old people find themselves in exile in their own land."@en
  • "An exercise in anti-racism/discrimination awareness where blue-eyed people are singled out and stigmatized, quickly becoming distracted and depressed, showing the impact of discrimination."@en
