One of the absolute BEST experiences that taught me about racism and prejudice that I recommend EVERYONE have was playing #PapersPlease
It didn't take long for me to completely have a clear understanding of how EASY it is for certain ideas to infiltrate the mind and twist it into horrible places. In a VERY SHORT time I became a full on racist in regard to a group of people I didn't know ... it was FASCINATING to experience.
I cannot recommend this experience enough.
I hated the feeling and also LOVED the feeling of understanding with SUCH absolutely clarity how certain ideas, feelings, circumstances, and most of all FEAR and POWER create prejudice and racism. That experience was one of the most horrifying and fascinating things ever and honestly, I felt so sick by the end of it ... but also enlightened. It was traumatizing if I'm being honest but it's an experience worth having, studying, and understanding.
Play it. Understand it.
#PapersPlease should be required in the education system. For real.
