@AmomMag10158 shares a social experiment where women were sent into job interviews believing they had facial scars, even though the scars had already been removed.

Researchers showed the women the fake scars in a mirror, then secretly wiped them off before the interviews began. The women still came back reporting far more discrimination, and even recalled comments they thought were about their faces. The clip argues that constantly telling people they are oppressed, whether as immigrants or because of their skin, primes them to look for it, and that young people should be taught they are strong and capable instead.

If they felt discriminated against over a scar that was not even there, what happens when people are told they are oppressed every day?
