Learning about racism – and determining the role you will play in addressing it – is an ongoing process. Watching and talking about I’m Not Racist… Am I? can be part of that process, but the information available to learn more about these issues is endless.
This resources below include ways to learn more about the students in the film and the workshops they participated in, suggestions for how to talk with kids about race, and a list for further viewing and reading. We are always building upon this list so if you have a suggestion for something we should add, please send us a message!

You may recall the moment in I’m Not Racist… Am I? when Martha says, “Personally, I’d rather be Spanish or be black or something.” No one spoke up to challenge that statement, but by the end of the film, Martha realized that must have been an “ouch” moment for others in the room.
This video and accompanying lessons (see PDF downloads on left) use that scene – plus footage that didn’t make the film’s final cut – as a starting point to discuss the concepts of cultural appropriation, privilege, assimilation, and white identity.

In the film, we get to know five of the teens – Kahleek, Martha, Sacha, Anna, and Abby – and look more closely at what they are learning in the workshops and how it affects their daily lives and relationships. But all 12 of the students had important stories to tell and perspectives to share. Find out more about them in these 12 videos featuring footage that didn’t make the film’s final cut.
The 90-minute film shows some of the most powerful moments from the workshops the teens participated in. But nothing can replace the experience of actually participating in those workshops. To learn more about the organizations and experts featured in the film, plus more that didn’t make the film’s final cut, visit our Workshops Page.
To gain a more complex and comprehensive understanding of the history of race and institutionalized racism in the United States, start with the PBS and California Newsreel three-part film Race: The Power of an Illusion. This is required viewing!

We also suggest reading Peggy McIntosh’s 1999 seminal article: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.
There are so many resources for talking with children about these issues. The ones below are a great start. While these specifically address talking with children, we believe that the adults engaging in these conversations with kids also need to spend time learning about these issues and doing their own self-exploration and reflection.

A nationally recognized Shoshone artist, Elwood had been visiting Sharon for the holidays, browsing for gifts in San Francisco’s exclusive Marina district when he was set upon by a mob of angry young men. Now he lies in a coma, hovering between life and death. With little progress on the investigation from the overworked, short-handed police, Sharon resolves to track down Elwood’s attackers herself.
