The following video took place in a bus station in Greece. It's a social experiment by ActionAid Hellas in order to fight racism. Two actors, one from Bangladesh and the other from Greece, staged a verbal racist attack.
The cameras recorded the true reactions of people waiting for the bus who were unaware of the staging. The results will amaze you!
The published video shows bystanders responding to the staged abuse. That's why we should all try to fight and beat racism: as the woman in the video says, "we are all animals, we are all equal.".

The actors create the situation; the bystanders supply the responses
ActionAid Hellas staged the racist exchange so the camera could record how people nearby responded. That distinction is essential to the video: the abusive behaviour was performed, while the reactions shown were presented as those of bystanders. The edit highlights particular moments and cannot establish how an entire society would react. Its practical value is in making intervention visible and giving viewers a concrete scene to discuss.
