The neuroscience of racism

from A Grey Matter · host Queensland Brain Institute

The recent furore about the booing of AFL player Adam Goodes has reignited a debate about racism in both the sport and in Australia. Why do we show prejudice towards people whom we perceive to be different to us? In this episode of A Grey Matter, we discuss how your brain might respond differently when you see the pain of someone from another racial group. CREDIT Hosted, produced and edited by Donna Lu
