I watched the entire video through and while the homeless segment upset me the most, I wan't a fan of the reactions to the last segment. These children perceived the dancing man as expressing what is considered a "feminine" quality and automatically labeled it as creepy or just not okay. Tell me, is there hope for acceptance in our future??
As far as the homeless segment, I just think it's sad that it's clearly a learned behavior. They even mentioned iCarly! But I guess the good thing about the fact the perceptions are learned is that they can be unlearned and prevented.
wow. I can't take this.
