The title of this video is "Adoption- Adopted Children and Racism." A man asked a group of Chinese children from the age of 5- 11, if they know what the word racism means. No one knew so the man explained it to the children. After knowing what the word meant, the children all raised their hands when asked if they expierenced it. A 5 year old said she was going to get an operation to cut back her eyelids (to change the shape of her eyes). Kids are learning racism at an early age. They think that if something is "different" then there is something wrong with them. I do not think children should have to worry about the way they look. Even children in society now, see race first.
