[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something like racism isn't a yes or no question, it's more of a continuum. [b]Someone can be generally open-minded and aware, but still have areas of ignorance and bias.[/b] It's how, for instance, someone can have friends from a particular minority group but not want someone from that minority group to be their doctor because they think people from that group tend to be less intelligent.[b] It's entirely possible that Matt Damon generally supports social justice/racial equality, but has a blind spot in this area that's a little more personal to him.[/b]

Also, there's a difference between a contest that tries to determine who is the best filmmaker, and then gives that filmmaker a script to direct as a prize, and a contest that tries to determine the best filmmaker to make that particular script. I think some of the disagreement described may have come from two different understandings of what the objective of the show is.[/quote]

Totally agree with the bolded.  It's more than a little simplistic to say "Racist Matt Damon".  But let's face it-- we all grew up in a racist society and everyone is going to have, as the PP states, "blind spots."  The question is: when you are confronted with your blind spots, will you be defensive, or take it as a learning opportunity?[/quote]
