I was suroised when the elderly man that looked black was really latiano. this relates to the movie by saying in simple terms that not everyone is what they seem to be.
ReplyDelete~ Brittney Sutherin ~ :) :p
you cant tell what race they are by just looking at them and everyone is the same.
ReplyDeleteRyan Clay Ian Hohlbein
it suprised us that none of the black people had dark skin
ReplyDeleteshows that race isnt a divider
Carley and Vanessa
it was hard to see the picture because they were small and pixlized.
ReplyDeletewe classified people because they look like that culture even if they are not.
liam O. and lukas G.
this ties to what we are watching the film in class because it show how similar everyone is.
ReplyDeleteRyan Clay Ian Hohlbein
We were very surprised that we got most wrong. In fact, we got more right when we completly guessed than when we tried hard. This shows that you can't tell someones "race" just by how they look.
ReplyDelete- Mitchell N. Adam G.
it really surprised us that we got more then 80% wrong because some of the people that we though for sure in the right category were comepletly diffrent, and their features really ended up messing us up. This ties into the film and shows that you can't judge a person by their looks and that their features dont show what culture their from.
ReplyDeleteWe were surprised that some people did not look like the race we suspected them to be. We judged based on skin color. This ties to the film we are watching in class because we can't make assumptions based on skin color and looks.
ReplyDeleteWe were surprized by the way the people classified themselves.We thought grouping people and limiting them to a certain group is wrong.
ReplyDeleteIt was very surprising of who was what race and to what they look like. I think this ties up with the movie becsuse of way the peoples skin looked like you really couldnt tell.
ReplyDelete- Sky & tommy
I felt so racist, we got only half of them right.
ReplyDeleteMichael Sutherin
I was sure that we would only get a few of the 20 right.
Shuangshi Ye
~We were suprised that we got so many wrong. We thought it was hard because everyone looks different and there is no specific way to look in one race.
ReplyDelete~This ties into the film we are watching in class because it talkes about not being able to tell someone's race by their genetics and we couldn't even tell what race they were by looking at them.

Some of those people wern't what we thought they were. Some of those were really confusing. WE also thought that some people were mixed which were the hardest people to classify.
ReplyDeleteThe look of someone does not mean what race they are. We were really suprised because we only got five right. I guess you should not judge people by how they look.
ReplyDeleteIt surprised us about how the color of their skin did not match their race. It tied into the movie because we were looking at people and sorting them just like the game except youcannot tell unless you have their dna
ReplyDeleteCole Steele
Mack Hetterscheidt
We found this game really hard and we only got a fourth of the people in the right category. THis ties to the film because it proves that you can't classify someones race just by looking at them. Something that really surprised us was the old man with the grey hair and african-american nose.
ReplyDelete-Anna and Hannah
How it surprised us was how people looked way different from their actual cultures.it relates to the video is they exactly described that we were putting people in catagories like people in the old days and now.
ReplyDelete-From the epicly epicness of epic, Wezi
-And more importantly, me (jack)
We felt personally as we were taking the quiz, it was challenging to sort people into groups based upon appearance. We felt guilty for steoryotyping people. It reflected the movie because they talked about how lots of people are closer in DNA to people not of their "race"
ReplyDeleteI didn't do so great, which is what suprised me. It ties in to what we are doing in class by showing that race is not just about skin color.
ReplyDeletei think that it is weird that the people that were asian and hispanic look alike. this shows that in the video they also look alike and are still different. Jordon Ey And self
ReplyDeleteWe were surprised at how many we got wrong. It really shows that it is hard to classify different kinds of people by appearance. It reflected the video because it talked about race and how it can differ in many ways from DNA.
ReplyDeleteEmily Wirt and Courtney Russell :)
we werew surprised that we only got five rite and. it ties with race and how people live with it.
ReplyDeleteMadison and SydenyR
We think that it was very suprizing how the people were classified. We didn't think that their looks prtrayed their race. The activity tied in to the film by talking about how race is not in your DNA, but is a cultural invention and is sometimes hard to tell what race someone is just by lookig at them.
ReplyDeleteJessica M. and Hailey P.
This activity was very difficult. The movie relates to this because you can't tell someone's race by looking at them. It surprised us when we only got 5 right...
ReplyDelete:)
~HaIlEe AnD bEcCa!
We thought that you can not tell someones race by just by looking at them!We found it very difficult to match some people and identify someones race.
ReplyDeleteHANNA GEIGER AND AUTUMN SHELBY
It suprised us by how many people that looked like a certain race were in the wrong catagory and we didn't get alot right because of how they looked. This ties in with the movie because it talks about how you can't judge a race by how they look.
ReplyDeleteAbby Craft,Lauren Tischer
I realised that u deffinetly can't classify ppl by the race because i only got 4 right, it relates to the video becasue u can't group them by just looking at them.
ReplyDeleteit was hard becuase some people had tans and we put them down as black. it ties in the film because people in the film didnt think they were close to people with a different skin color.
ReplyDeleteRick and Christo
What really surprised us was how wrong our answers were. We didn't realize that when we classify people as certain races, we need to look at certain principles to insure accuracy. We think that this ties in to the movie because we cannot just look at people and know what race they are. If we do that, similar to the activity, we will probably be wrong.
ReplyDeleteBrenna and Annie
We were really suprised I think that it connects to the film by the fact that this film is about studying this same thing
ReplyDelete-Wilson and Jacob
We were way off in classifying people, so the conclusion made sense. The video completely ties with this. It really teaches you not to judge a book by its cover.
ReplyDeleteKatie Wood and Elise Katz
we were quite surprized because so many people looked like they'd be in one group when they were in a compleatly diffrent group of people. This compares to the movie because some people can not just be labeled by apperence.
ReplyDeleteWe were suprised at how hard it is to put people in their correct "race" or categorey. It relates to the video because the video tells you can't just put say someone is a certain "race" by the color of their skin, and culture.
ReplyDeleteWhat surprised me about this was that many of the poeple did not look like what their race was. This ties into the video beacuse both the video and the website showed that you shouldn't just assume some is a certain race based on the color of their skin.
ReplyDeleteThere was a lady who was really pale but identified herself as black, but we said she was white. In other words, we were surprised that people identify themselves as races that other people would never think of them as. This ties in with the movie we are watching by showing that you can't guess a person's race by looking at them, or, you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. We think we (as a society) do this too much.
ReplyDeleteAnna Willson and Cricket Kowal
it suprised us that when they took the census thye put them into races just by looking at th. it also supirised us how none of the black people had very dark skin.
ReplyDelete~Jack Nourse and Cam Redding~
It suprised us that people classified themselves as something they didn't look like. Also it surpirised us when people classified themselves as something they were not. This ties into the video because both said people can't be classified by looks.
ReplyDeleteEvvy and Rachel
I was surprised how different the views of what we assumed what race people were in was compared to what the U.S goverment said race was. Like the video it shows us that we can't assume what race people are by color of skin or any other traits people have.
ReplyDeletewe think it tied to the film beacuse in bothh the film and the game it shows that theres is no definite lines on what defines a certain race
ReplyDelete~Jack Nourse and Cam Redding~
i think race cant be determined by color or genetics and that the quiz was easy till we realized how wrong we were
ReplyDeleteNate Huller/Gerik Mevlin
It suprised me that some of the people were what they classified themselves as. this proves that race has nothing to do with skin color.
ReplyDeleteThe results surprised me. I realized you can't tell people's races just by their color!
ReplyDelete~Megan Moore
We dont think that race can be dirtimened by the way someone looks, or their color, consdiering the fact that we only got 5 correct! This really goes well with the film because it just prooves the fact that people are judged too easliy by how they look.
ReplyDelete~Hannah Hickle and Ruth Lamoureux
It surprised us because we would be absolutely sure that the person looks a certain race but when he/she goes to a group that we thought they wouldn't be in it really surprised us. It's the same as the movie because the movie said that you can't know if someones a certain race by looking at their faces.
ReplyDeleteAlador S. and Dan C.
I agree with Evvy and Rachel M. about how people classified themselves as something WE didn't see them as. But, that is the point I think, that we have these bias opinions of what people of certain "races" should look like.
ReplyDelete*Amelia Johnson*
The way America used to sort people stupid, I mean classifying them by their looks, that's just horrible!
