    I think this was very beneficial for everyone to see that racist people are mistreat others so brutally for no reason, just because of their race and skin color. This is my favorite propaganda so far.

    I feel that its beneficial because racism is a huge even today and this video is showing how even if someone has different skin you shouldn't want to sit next to them because we are all human.

    This is positive propaganda, because it shows how bad racism is and how they made the ending so satisfying. It is very beneficial but it doesn't show how racism might look like in real life.

    I think it's a great way to put racism in the right place, this is a successful ad and encourages the people fighting for human rights. People need to understand that we are all equal and we need to be treated fairly.
