[RSCT] Racists and bystanders get "Punk'd" Treatment in Linden

[KEVIN LAMASTRA]

I wanted to share this video with the list. It is a hidden camera set up shot around the block from my
school in Linden, NJ. In the video, an actor poses as a racist guy behind the counter in a working class
deli. THere are also actors posing as day laborers who are refused service because they don't speak
English. The show tries to see how people will react and if anyone will speak out.

I found it useful for discussion with my middle school students. Please take a look if interested:
