NDR editor Navina Sundaram examines the majority perspective on the issue of racism. She highlights an experiment by the Greek anthropologist Georgios Tsiakalos at the University of Bremen, in which he wanted to demonstrate that misconceptions and prejudices towards minorities are not innate but acquired. A test subject’s muscle tension, temperature, and skin resistance are measured whilst she views a slide show: images of people labelled as »foreign«, as well as headlines, posters and graffiti for and against immigration.
