Mannheim Business School fights xenophobia, subtle racism and discrimination

Mannheim Business School (MBS) fights xenophobia, subtle racism and discrimination. Social Sustainability Project (SSP) by MCT-4: PIERRE ABI SLEIMAN | CRISTIAN HOGER | SALINA JAIN | A K | HUNG NGUYEN ------- Did you know that over 80% of individuals have experienced some form of subtle discrimination? Subtle discrimination is when an individual displays negative emotions towards another who may have a different appearance. These emotions are shown in an understated way, for example, standing a few meters away from an individual of color at the train station. This behavior has a very negative impact on people confronted with it. Studies have shown that aspects such as skin color, overall appearance and dressing trigger this form of discrimination. Individuals are simply used to behaving in a certain manner and are not interested in educating themselves for the better. Currently only 53% or individuals stand up for victims facing discrimination. This is not enough LET US MAKE IT 100% It is important to realize that discrimination, whether subtle or obvious, is never the right way to act. The key is to simply to educate ourselves and look beyond one’s own prejudices: Despite our physical and intellectual differences we have more in common than many believe. Prof. Dr. Jacques Pateau quotes famous Nigerian writer Chimamanda Adichie by saying "The problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete!" ---- #wearemannheimers ---- We conducted an experiment to counteract the discrimination that seems so apparent in this world. And we invited participants, who represented various nationalities, to take part, by first separating them according to their cultural region and then bringing them together by highlighting what they have in common. There were Eastern and Southern Europeans South Americans Eastern Asians Western Europeans South-east Asians And finally participants from the Middle East The result of our first question was a success We asked who was a vegetarian and participants from four boxes moved to our “common” box. They greeted each other with smiles and hugs. This is just a small way of showing that we are not so different as the world might claim. We were looking to attract a few more with our second question When asked “who enjoys a good Döner Kebab”, many participants from all boxes joined together in excitement and laughter. Our “common” box was filling up more and more Throughout our experiment, we experienced joyous emotions with participants having a good time. People were smiling, laughing and enjoyed being around each other. The environment of fear and hate was nowhere to be found. Open displays of affection showed us that there is still hope out there for love to overcome fear. Even when emotional questions were asked, participants grouped together in solidarity. Our proudest moment, however, was when one participant “came out” to the entire group and was met with applause and cheers of support and acknowledgment. This is how we should treat each other. This is the smile that we should make everyone have. And finally, we showcased what everyone in the video had in common. And this was that they were proud students of Mannheim. Closing Scene There is a lot of fear and hate being spread around the world today. But this video shows that things can be different. Just open your mind and heart and realize that despite our race, we are all the same. ----- This video is inspired by Danish social video "All That We Share":    • TV 2 | All That We Share
