After viewing, use the box to take notes and write brief answers to these questions:

  1. What was the main thing you learned from this video?
  2. What was your reaction to learning that, "Research shows that our racial biases are often more about who we choose to help than who we don't. And we tend to help people who are similar to us." What are some examples of this that you have seen or experienced in your own life?

Alternative Question: Answer these questions in 2-3 paragraphs: If you are the one affected by discrimination (like the fictional graduate students in Chugh's research), does it matter if it's the result of implicit or explicit bias? Should public laws or policies be based on outcomes, or intent?
