An excellent presentation of prejudice brought forward by these young people in an open forum of debate. For each has presented the basis of their own prejudice against specific others and the manner of their personal resolution to lay to rest such prejudice.
although each of these young people appear to be well educated, there is a thought though, is there a correlation between understanding with the tools of education against those of lesser manner of education in the area of prejudice. Or, if the foundation of such prejudice against another was laid in past by experience of a personal nature of a taught one by national system of education, or perhaps both?
For if above is true, then my self should hate all Russians for the war time death of my father, but, I do not. Would my personal feelings then be an aberration of reality? This is not a personal question but rather, one that would apply to many of us here.
It is good to think in the stead of floating with the currant.

Karl, thank you for listening to this debate. These kids were well educated, probably came from the elites of their countries, still they represented their cultural background. Children also are less political and manipulating in their feeling than the adults are.
I looked at the link that you provided about hate. Yes, we are much more inclined to negative feelings than positive - for instance to be against communism is much easier than be pro new government, since everybody has a different vision of their dream government.... teaming of people against a scapegoat - happens a lot and it is sad...

Jaga/Karl,
I have interesting discussions about intercultural relations, ethnicity, races and differences between cultures and languages with my intelligent South-African nephew whom is visiting me. Love these conversations. He interacts with white, colored, Black and Asian people. Has experience with South-Africa, The Netherlands, the UK (London, where he lived and worked), Belgium, France and Sweden.
People are manipulated by their environments, families, friends, colleagues and countries they live in. To have real knowledge is to travel, work and study abroad or having been in a War abroad or on Missions, as an expat or by being a migrant. Jaga can compare Poland with the USA for instance.
Karl can compare Denmark, Germany, the USA, Canada, Syria, Israel, South-Africa, Namibia, Mexico, Southern-America, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland with each other for instance. Kai (Ron) has his US states and European experience, John his Vietnam and USA experience, Jeanne has her experience and etc.
We all have our personal experiences and encounters with other peoples and cultures. It was a privilage to be able to travel for me and to encounter so many different cultures, religions, ethnicities, ideologies and races in my own native country the Netherlands, I have to say.
Cheers,
Pieter

Jaga,
I wonder how a 2021 High School Exchange Students in USA Debate on Prejudice: Philippines, Japan, UK, Indonesia would be today? What the difference would be with these school pupils in the USA Debate on Prejudice: Philippines, Japan, UK, Indonesia in 1956.
Cheers,
Pieter
