|
Observed Phenomenon:
Non-white people get angry when they are called nigger by white people.
Hypothesis:
To minimize the emotional connection to the word nigger when you are called nigger by a white person, if you are a non-white person, ask questions.
Experiment:
Ask only the following following questions if you are a non-white person and you are being called nigger by a white person:
(1) What is a nigger?
(2) Why are you calling me a nigger?
(3) What do you think should be done with a nigger? Recording Data:
Use whatever recording device you can such as pencil and paper, audio recorder, video recorder, memory, etc., to make sure the interactions between people are recorded.
Expected Results:
(1) The white person may tell you what they should be done with a nigger but they will not do it.
(2) The non-white person will have less anxiety when focusing on the questions to ask.
