Eksperimentas VERTIMAS / Experiment TRANSLATION

This is a video experiment dedicated to promote our newly launched website www.svetimageda.lt (in Lithuanian only). The website is a digital “handbook”, full of advices on how all of us can react to racial, homophobic, other kind of bullying and hate speech not only online, but also in mass media, on the streets, at schools, work, etc.
How was the experiment made? We invited people (not professional actors) to participate in a casting for an ad. In advance, we gave no specifics on what the ad would be about. When they had arrived, we asked them to wait a second in our waiting room. They had no clue the waiting room was in fact fake, and we were filming them already there with our hidden cameras.
What happened next - watch in the video (in English).
NOTE: All the people exposed in the video have given us a permition to do so. Parents of the child were informed prior the experiment.
For the experiment we thank the video-making crew:
Idea: Dangiras Bugas, Rokas Tarabilda
Producer: Rūta Bučiūnaitė
Director: Mindaugas Sruogius
Director of photography: Audrius Budrys
Set design: Dalia Dūdėnaitė, Domas Butkus
Sound: Ignas Mateika
Music: Vainius Sodeika
Post-production: Rokas Šydeikis
Title design: Martynas Kazimierėnas

Hard not to cry when they read the message to him but I loved how nice these people were once they realized how hateful the message was.

[@SunnaRut]

"We were all humans until race disconnected us, religion separated us, politics divided us and wealth classified us."

[@BluescreenBandit]

Yes, yes. Sol lucet omnibus and all that other leftwing populist crap.

[@SunnaRut]

BluescreenBandit Yes :)

[@TheRed4123]

Is that an OP or did you copy it , if so from whom? Either way i love it ^^

[@SunnaRut]

TheRed4123 I wish I could tell you who wrote it but I don't know :( I've been trying to find out now and also when I posted it (didn't want to post it without the authors name) but the search gave me nothing. I guess it's just one of those things that "someone" said and then it got around.. :) Very beautiful saying!

[@miyangyamasiki5856]

[@dasgroea2217]

watch the Video and was happy. I read the comments and got sad again ._.

[@socforfun]

Me too :/. But only stupid and not intelligent people say something like that. The people of the video are educated, intelligent and reflected. That's the different :).

[@gnofieB_hpoT]

Das große A Habe mir das Video angeschaut und gedacht, super endlich wird mal mehr darüber gesprochen. Guck in die Kommentare und der Hass auf die Menschen wächst.

[@kirananase9099]

same.

[@ugnelaseviciute4710]

Me too :(

[@nicbarrax76]

Das große A My experience of these things is that usually the ones who hate, are also the loudest and most active on these forums. The only way for them to be seen/heard is to scream so that their fears don´t shine through...

[@sudheertelugu7185]

Just added Latvia or Lithuania (whichever it is :P) to my checklist.. people seemed soo lovely..

[@BluescreenBandit]

You will be disappointed.

[@sudheertelugu7185]

[@xgenesys]

The most impressing thing: the young boy, who can speak english + lithuanian fluently. In france, people and many student can't even speak as good as him.

[@yayotaxd]

Lithuanian language is only spoken in Lithuania thats why they have to learn english to connect with world

[@fonograf_music]

French is more common in the world but not so much, english is still important for us.

[@user-bi4sv3dd1b]

My sister son 9years old and he speak lithuanian and english

[@mattgoodman6607]

the most impressive thing was the beautiful souls of the people who didn't want to hurt him by translating the hateful message

[@dovainemiseviciute5917]

Šaunuoliai video kūrėjai ! Jautrokas video. Deja Lietuvoje daugelis žmonių užkliūna. Stori,ploni,aukšti,maži. O juodaodžiai dar labiau. Gėda už kai kuriuos Lietuvius. Mes visi lygūs :))

[@kaunaz]

Visi lygūs pasaulio mąstu. Bet ne visi lygus atskirose šalyse. Lietuvoje nėra visi lygūs, Lietuva yra lietuvių žemė, kur lietuviai yra Lietuvos šeimininkai, o ne kiekvienas panorėjęs atvykėlis.

[@Rockownz5150]

kaunaz Taip, užsieniečiai, pavyzdžiui, negali balsuoti Seimo ar prezidento rinkimuose, ne ES piliečių galimybės gyventi yra ribojamos. Taip yra jau dabar ir šitas klipas niekaip nesikėsina šito pakeisti, tiesiog parodo nepelnytai kitos rasės atstovui rodomos grubios nepagarbos šlykštumą.

[@kaunaz]

Rockownz5150 man tai nieko neparodo. Būtent tai aklas tolerastinės propagandos pūtimas išgalvojant kakokią absurdišką situaciją. Juk šiame klipe nėra jokios informacijos nei kas tas juodaodis, nei ko jis čia atvažiavo, nei kas, ką ir kodėl atseit parašė jam į jo facebook. Tau nekilo tokie klausimai žiūrint šitą video? Matyt ne, už tai iškart kilo neapykanta atseit kažkokiem nekultūringiems, "rasistams' savo tautiečiams, remiantis išgalvota situacija. Taip yra mulkinami žmonės.

[@Rockownz5150]

kaunaz "Juk šiame klipe nėra jokios informacijos nei kas, ką ir kodėl atseit parašė jam į jo facebook" O egzistuoja koks nors kontekstas, kada tokius dalykus sakyti būtų priimtina? O gal sakysi, kad akla neapykanta kitokiam vien dėl to, jog jis/ji kitoks Lietuvoje(ar bet kur kitur) neegzistuoja? O jei visgi pripažįsti, jog egzistuoja, negi sakysi, kad tai geras dalykas? Situacija čia hipotetinė, bet tai nereiškia, kad išgalvota situacija nieko negalima pasakyti apie realybę.

[@kaunaz]

Rockownz5150 o ar koks pvz. nors buitinis dviejų žmonių konfliktas yra nacionalinės reikšmės įvykis, ir juo remiantis galima būtų daryti globalines išvadas ir reziumuoti apie visą šalį? Nereikia kurti tokių hipotetinių situacijų, nes toliau varoma į vienus vartus ir baigtis aiški.

[@RasaPakalkiene]

Skaudinantis ir kartu jautrus socialinis eksperimentas. Manau, reikėtų daugiau tokio pobūdžio.

[@Peachypi3]

+Name Holder you just hit the nail on the head. this man needs to get off google with his "statistics". It is very sad when people must go validify their racist beliefs. Nothing will change those people. i hope whoever is racist has kids that make babies with other races. just to torment their stupid, lifeless souls.

[@sara22a7md]

that's so sad I cried why does people have so much hate in their hearts

[@SraTacoMal]

It's just an experiment. But it has probably really happened before.

[@dlomane1965]

It was an experiment.

[@daniellezm]

Derrick Washington those kinds of hateful comments are certainly real though... as you are likely to have seen around KZbin. a few comments above some guy called a black man's white wife a race traitor. :(

[@blasiankiki7831]

I dont know how to explain it but the look of empathy and sadness that they felt from this complete stranger makes them all absolutely beautiful..... Literally, this is how a person can be whats considered unattractive and have something about them that makes so beautiful.... This video makes me emotional no matter how many times I see it

[@barbamattar]

Aciu, my friends! In 2010 I had some problems with racist lithuanians while I was living there. While the world was upside down to me and I was thinking about leave the country, my lithuanian friends persuaded me to stay and showed me how nice they really are. Just like this video shows. I'm really happy to see this ad campaign and I hope lithuanians, real lithuanians like you, keep fighting these racists back. Unfortunately they exist. Not only there. Aciu labai!

[@solce809]

then go home if you don’t like it ahaha, nobody invited you over idiot

[@adamtombar]

yes , hard not to cry . the reaction on their face is priceless . all their body language says it all . Thanks to these people who shows that there are still many good people on earth , and we can make the world better place

[@VickyHarrison]

Shame about all the negative comments. Be humble to each other, we all bleed the same.

[@TheFlowMind]

Can't they just say "I'm really sorry but this person is insulting you"?

[@cris-oq4po]

TheFlowMind nah cause they have to follow the script

[@EvaSnyder]

TheFlowMind A couple of people did choose that option.

[@AngelKay7]

TheFlowMind It looks like that's what most of them said, but at 3:28 it looks like he convinces them that he really wants to know what was being said about him. Although it looks like many of them try to talk him out of it, some reluctantly agree to read it but warn him that it may affect him personally.

[@tungbeobeo83]

This is a lesson for me, personally. Not because I am a bad person, but because I want to be a better one who always watches his mouth before speaking about anybody.

[@Raytrek79]

This is not only racist but threatening; it is one thing to insult people but to make them fear for their safety is a type of terrorism.

[@Raytrek79]

***** I am well aware of the nature of the experiment, but those kinds of comments in real life do constitute terrorism not just bigotry.

[@marklee3516]

Ray Butler I get what you're saying, but by definition, terrorism is a violent act with political aims. Threats aren't terrorism.

[@multazimah9126]

Ray Butler Yes. My first thought was to get law enforcement involved.

[@Raytrek79]

Mark Lee Making someone afraid for their safety is the issue, and technically racism is political. You can argue the semantics but the result is the same as actual acts of violence, and if you kill someone then they are no longer afraid, the fear applies to people who are not killed.

[@BluescreenBandit]

SwayJJ I'm not an ugly fuck discriminator. See, I'm still conversing with you. But if you're looking for a man in your life, I don't swing that way, sorry. And even if I did, our interests wouldn't match, see, I'm not too fond of shagging animals.

Wonderful people people with great hearts! Congratulations for been the way you are!

[@jadasmiles]

This is a wonderful experiment, The people are full of empathy and compassion. This is how we should react to bullying and hate speech.

[@freezyfrank5802]

The reaction of the people's face really got my heart and made it melted like ice those educated, beautiful faces made me forget so many racism that happen to me the difference is these people are European and those who did so many racism to me were Arabs . And fellow Muslims and I come the point where i realized that eupeans have the least number of racism according to Arabs. And one point of my life a European family raised me right after I come from arab racism and I was so scared of this family thinking they are whiter than Arabs and they might hit harder but they become angels of my life That I call them every weekend from long distance

Labai šauniai padirbėta, visiškai puikus viral material'as, su milžinišku potencialu nuvilnyti ne tik Lietuvos interneto platybėse, bet ir pasauliniu mastu. Džiaugiuosi, kad buvo taip teisingai pasinaudota socialinių eksperimentų video filmavimo subtilybėmis, nes šis "žanras" vis dar yra ant bangos ir labai paveikus. Žodžiu, very very wow.

[@BobbySioux]

I see many voices here, for sympathy and some for 'getting over it'. For people who are considered minorities, it's not always that easy because its the amount that is shown to us. We cannot move forward or 'get over it', because it always comes back. I have respect for these people who didn't want to and those who did, because it is a glimpse of what all minorities struggle with. Stereotypes, hatred, 'getting over it', all of these are with us every day. All I ask is you understand that, have some empathy.

[@JaziX5]

I love how they all looked genuinely disgusted of what they read.

Gėda, nes tuo metu JI(-S) turėjo sakyti tuos žodžius, kurių, turbūt, niekada nebūtų pasakęs. Beto, tuo metu jis kartu ir atstovavo savo šalį, o tik atvykusiam užsieniečiui tokie žodžiai tikrai nebūtų padarę gero įvaizdžio.

[@LaisvaFoto]

Jis atstovavo save, kaip ir to komentaro autorius. Būtų nepalikę geros nuomonės apie tą komentatorių, o ne apie šalį (nebent jis kažkoks super stereopitinis žmogelis). Spėju tam ir samdė aktorius nes jei iš tikro būtų ekspermentas vaizdelis būtų visai kitoks.

Pagan Lithuanians trying to fight of the Teutonic order and various Christian Europeans. The Mongol hordes making them subservient. The Russians continually trying to take them over. Vikings always giving them shit.

[@sophiacambria9043]

Very touching to see the responses of those who could translate. I could see their compassion and pain for injustice to humanity. It is important to understand that although we may look different on the outside we each deserve dignity and respect as fellow human beings. Think about how people may be treated differently just because they may be elderly (they are still that same person inside that they were as a young person) or how an individual who does not meet the "Hollywood" standard of beauty may be treated. Cultivate love. I agree completely with Sanjay Ramzam; well put Sanjay, well said.

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

Good social experiment by the way but I don't think they should have got the kid to read it at his age he shouldn't see that kind of stuff.

[@Nakharis]

Try telling that to the colored kid who has those same messages from both adults and kids his or her age.

[@riceyasian86]

Dominik Doherty So when should they learn about racism and that it's wrong? When they're already old enough and it's too late and they've already had their minds made up for them?

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

lolubad umad i mean kids should learn racism as soon as possible in their life but in this instance the message had stuff like "from your slave skin we will make shoes" i personally don't think a child should hear that kind of stuff

[@gabeyboi]

Dominik Doherty I think the child is shown reading it to show his/her innocence and how others influence a child's opinions. Children aren't hidden from racism. No one is born racist, they are taught to be.

I am lithuanian and reading all these racist comments is tough. It makes me wana move to other country or something. But you will never hear anything like this in the street, or in real life. There are racists and haters in comments, but they are weak and shy in real life. I was happy to see this video, but when i read comments... its just horrible.... I still dont get why some lithuanians are so racist. I simply dont get racism in general. So i have hope that people in here will change :)

[@battybriefs]

It's such a shame that a few cowardly internet trolls can have the power to influence a persons opinion of an entire culture. Be careful not to generalize a whole population based on a few terrible people. It is easy to perpetuate bigotry that way, even if you had the best intentions. If you ever do get the opportunity to go to Lithuania, I would encourage you to go. It is such a beautiful country. I had a wonderful opportunity to live in Vilnius for a four month internship. I feel like I left a piece of my heart there. I feel like maybe this video is a preventive measure to help educate people before bigotry becomes a problem. In all my time there, I never saw any issues with bigotry. The people were all very kind. I feel like the USA has a bigger problem with bigotry. Not a day goes by here in Utah, USA, where I don't hear hateful comments about a persons sexuality, gender or race...

[@elisek848]

Thomas Mariani I wouldn't want foreigners judging all Americans based on, say, the comments section in a FoxNews article about Trayvon Martin or any article about Obama linked from the Drudge Report. Let's not rush to judge an entire country based on its trolls. (Because American would look hella bad).

[@LordSandwichII]

I don't like the fact that they made a child read it ! :( But then again, maybe we should be teaching kids tough lessons like that!

[@sexiukas555]

+Lord Sandwich in my opinion, the advertisement is meaningless. Lithuania is not a lot of blacks, so the same problem also does not. The more racism in our country? Jesus. of course here, are skinheads, and other types of people, but such is everywhere. Lithuania too small country that one or the other case remain undiscovered, the more the majority of the Lithuanian people who live their lives and they at least care about the other person's color, religion or sexual orientation. Unless those human causes to yourself out any action. In my area, living black Family: a man and his wife and two children, they have a daily shuttle bus with me, I never saw hostile against them. but I have seen black people as a group of not sober tourists. they had been molested the girls on the bus. later boarded a bus in the Russian-speaking young people quarreled with blacks for indecent behavior with the girls (girls female students, Lithuanian-speaking) all fights ended when the Russian-speaking guys threw blacks out of the bus. But in my opinion it is not related to race, it's just a conflict provoked by indecent behavior in public.

[@EilleenCarrion]

Yes. Kids should be taught to openly discuss and reflect upon things, even tabu topics. How else will they face these topics later on in their lives?

This makes me think about how different cultures react to such things. As an American, I am so sad and sorry to say I doubt the reactions would be as empathetic. Of course you'd get the good people who would be appalled, but at the same time, you have to realize there would be a lot of laughs just reading this terrible hate speech. And it's all culture biased, but so heartbreaking in terms of the reality of it... It's such a beautiful piece!

[@LiaLepique]

No hace falta manejar el idioma, para comprender el mensaje de la campaña, las reacciones de las personas son impresionantes, ayuda mucho a crear conciencia sobre la discriminación ( etnias, orientación sexual, etc). Felicitaciones, gran aporte :)

Beautiful video, very emotional, and shows the good nature of people.

i am black and i am very proud of those white heroes who stood beside him they are role models...

[@brcha]

You do realize this is staged propaganda video, mate? They didn't stand beside him, they followed the script. Whether they would stand beside him or not in the real world is completely unknown.

[@LinasVolodzka]

not everyone is racist you know, and i dont think this is propaganda

[@tomek]

I wish the titles were in English, could someone add translated annotations please?

[@borundan]

Title is "Experiment TRANSLATION".

[@darkside924]

Tomek The title says Experiment evaluation or The Evaluation Experiment. ( How Ever you prefer it)

[@tomek]

***** darkside924 hey, thanks guys, what I meant was all the titles that appear in the video (:

Why is it so hard to love every race? I'm black and my girlfriend is white. I plan to have kids with her in the future, but I don't want my kids to be in a sort of limbo. too light skin to be black and too dark skin to be white.

[@Kayllyn453]

I hope things will change, but I grew up and faced that exact thing you describe... Too light to be black and too dark to be white. I am accepted more by black people than I am by white people, but I definitely grew up struggling with my racial identity. I do hope that as times change your child won't face the same issues.

[@christaem4077]

Man let's pray on that. I do believe racism will die off eventually, but it will take a long time.

[@velnias9135]

Your wife is a race traitor

[@DeannaLBx]

that gamer you are a traitor to all good in humanity.

[@Divio18]

Ugh, I don't know. It's such a poison for our society, all this hate, it's not heading anywhere. Why do we find the need of spreading negativity over such superficial stuff. Why make people sad or angry when you could make them smile and be happy. I hope one day people will realize all this hate serves nothing but splitting us when really we should all be united.

[@EV3NTH888]

people who think it's just all about political correctness and nothing more should watch this, but I think the meaning would be lost on them.

[@twattythirky]

rewatched, still full eyed afterwards

[@salvadorthesecond]

what's the song playing in the background near the end of the video called?

[@TheChinkeat]

These Lithuanian are nice :)

[@DasManiac99]

Oh god these comments... "[...] Black guy should translate" , "To show of inherently evil the original sin of being white is" or, in my opinion, the best : "Everybody sould live in their own country". Seriously guys? This is about cybermobbing and the fact, that those people, eventhough they arn´t even slightly involved in the text message; can´t translate it because telling somebody that sort of thing face-to-face, istead of just sitting on the computer and writing this stuff. And you with those comments are the one group which are spoken to. Try to say that thing to a black guy in the streets. And no, before you are coming with comments like "Uh, no, I just will get shot at the ghetto" then go on NORMAL streets. End of me, your turn.

[@solce809]

lol american, I’m from Eastern Europe thankfully there’s no apes roaming the streets here. If I want to see that I go to the zoo. It’s funny that Americans pretend to be tolerant but they can not tolerate other cultures which don’t want to worship wastes on society whose people have never accomplished anything throughout thousands of years of existence

[@sacmom3]

The sincerity in these peoples eyes made me cry. They really didn't want to hurt this guy. It's a sincerity you don't see in the eyes of white Americans.

[@HighOnPickleJuice]

Čia tai išties pagyrimo verta reklama/akcija, net nežinau kaip tai tiksliai pavadinti. Bet galingas impulsas. Kažkaip teikia vilčių, kad gal pagaliau kai kurie lietuviai atsikratys tos rasizmo šmėklos. Spaudžiu dešinę (kad ir virtualiai).

[@NicemanEntertainment]

Das Video mit dem Translation-Experiment: Genial! Es gibt auch dicke Bücher zu diesen Themen - die liest aber keiner. Hier wird in wenigen Minuten klar, was Kommunikation, moderne Medien/social media, Netiquette mit Rassismus oder Mobbing zu tun haben.

lolololololol. white guilt needs to be cutivated as a power source because its soooooo strong.

[@1MuchButteR1]

I agree with the message but Lithuania will be wiped off the face of the Earth in 10 months or less if our economy improves and we get 3rd world immigration due to EU opened borders. Lithuania already has low birthrate and ethnic Lithuanian emigration out of the country. I am not sure if our government has learned from Paris or London.

[@BluescreenBandit]

Your government doesn't care where they get their money from, black or white. They'll just replace you with some africans.

[@kiragoe]

I live in England and believe me it's not as bad as the racist bastards here who claim "they can't get jobs" are making out. Most immigrants get same amount of money as a British citizen yet British people refuse to these "demeaning jobs" forcing people to hire from abroad. To many British people don't know how good they have it here... One reason why the racist twats of UKIP are failing.

[@kiragoe]

Kimberley ! Err I know loads of people on job seeker allowance that refuse to go and do these warehouse jobs because they are 12 hour shifts and they are local only 20min walk away but they refuse to because apparently it's "shit". And I have been told they're always hiring but alot of the workers there are polish but they always need more staff but struggle to get them. Don't comment on things you don't even follow or do you track what organizations struggle to get employers that require no qualifications and are easy to get to? Probably not, you're probably just one of those run of the mill UK racists voting for UKIP...

[@freedomisslavery6840]

What a guy 'Racist' blah blah blah blah blah, you realise people just tune out as soon as you utter that worthless, meaningless Marxist buzzword right?

[@jessicagone6273]

i'm sorry but i'll have to disagree with quite a lot of people in the comments - race blindness is a huge problem. just because you personally decide "i won't judge you based on you being black, we're all the same" you ignore that this is a reoccuring problem that black people receive. for example, at the beginning at the video, all the people seemed insensitive - blind that this could be a common occurence to the man in the video, blind to the fact that this even happens. you would be instead ignoring this problem at all, pretending it doesn't exist because it doesn't happen to you
