Thanks for posting this. I had never heard of Jane Elliott or this experiment before.

Oh, man, I looked on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Elliott for more background on this, and there's this:

An often-quoted letter stated, "How dare you try this cruel experiment out on white children? Black children grow up accustomed to such behavior, but white children, there's no way they could possibly understand it. It's cruel to white children and will cause them great psychological damage."

So much amazing white privilege on display there, I have no idea what to say about.

I remember watching the Brown Eye-Blue Eye experiment in psychology courses.

It's powerful stuff.
