6 Reality TV Gems (Really)
(2 of 2)
SPEAKING OF STEREOTYPES, this provocative series attacks them using tricks of unreality entertainment: makeup and prosthetics. A black and a white family each get made over to live life as members of the other's race. As illuminating as their undercover experiences (a white stranger casually shares racist opinions with the "white" father) are their conflicting interpretations of racial nuances (was a salesman nice to the "black" father out of friendliness--or fear that he was going to steal something?). This is an extreme--and edifying--makeover indeed.
