Taking a Stance Against Racism and Discrimination

Description

They're an average American family at a typical American restaurant. They also happen to be Hispanic (not to mention that the restaurant is situated in Tucson, Arizona, a hub of our nation's ongoing immigration debate) From out of nowhere, an off-duty security guard asks to see their documentation, and as he grows more insistent, the other diners nervously consider what steps, if any, to take. It's a scenario drawn from real life, no doubt, but in this case, the guard and the family are actors in a hidden-camera ABC News segment-one designed to spark reactions from onlookers. Several other staged dilemmas are also included here: Jewish customers face an anti-Semitic cashier, hearing-impaired job seekers aren't allowed to fill out applications, an HIV-positive man is subjected to verbal attacks, and an African-American man is accosted for having a white daughter.
