When Jane Elliott, the trainer, asked white people to stand if they were willilng to be treated as this society generally treats blacks, how many stood?

In the famous "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise conducted by Jane Elliott, when she asked the white participants to stand if they were willing to be treated as society generally treats Black individuals, very few stood up. This poignant demonstration was aimed at highlighting the implicit biases and societal inequalities experienced by people of color, particularly African Americans. The exercise revealed the discomfort and unwillingness of white individuals to experience the discrimination and prejudice that comes with being a member of a marginalized community. The outcome provoked significant reflection and discussion about racism, privilege, and empathy. Elliott's experiment effectively showcased the disparities in how different groups are treated in society, sparking conversations that continue to be relevant today.
