You're gold again since I fixed your video Family Guy Tetris, but I forgot that embeds from Tubearoo look weird. Just edit the embed and where it says:

How Muslims Are Treated In The USA
I agree the piece would have been much more powerful (and somewhat more scientific) if it had been a hidden camera on an average Muslim in America. However, the video as is still is quite telling about the level of ignorance and intolerance here. I don't approve of this style of journalism in general (because it's lazy and inflammatory), but I would love to hear some justification as to why this particular video is harmful. As far as I can tell, it would only be harmful if it was completely staged with 100% actors and slanted against the reality of our society. It does not appear to be any of those things.
Hi Max,
Unfortunately I'm not sufficiently motivated to provide a detailed account of how I conclude that this sort of journalism is unhelpful and dangerous. But the short version of my argument is that people who are unfamiliar with social psychology could be wrongly persuaded by this video that this is an example of How Muslims Are Treated In The USA.
In fact, I think the grouping of 'muslim' and 'American' in this video is arbitrary and the same effect could be produced if all of these people were grouped in any way where there are similar antecedent conditions (e.g. salient normalcy between members). To my mind, a more parsimonious explanation of what we're really seeing at work here is random blend of social cognitive phenomena. For example, I think the participant's reactions could be reliability predicted as a function of personality which would have nothing to do with the in/out group distinction.
Here is a much more detailed account of what I am talking about: http://ourcomments.org/psych/GroupthinkII-realFinalADvances-1.pdf
