UK TV show to claim all whites' are racist

London, Oct. 29 (ANI): A new television show will tonight claim that all white people are racist.

An American schoolteacher and anti-race campaigner will conduct an experiment for Channel 4 to prove how prejudiced Britain is, reports the Daily Star.

Jane Elliott, 76, whose nickname is The Bitch, travelled to the UK for the test.

Part of the show features former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher made up as a black person and US President Barack Obama as a Chinese.

Elliott is given a group of 30 volunteers, of mixed age and race, and splits them into two teams based on their eye colour.

At the end of the experiment, Elliott claims the white volunteers have shown their true colours.

She will tells the Channel 4 documentary tonight at 10pm: "White people should feel guilty about their behaviour. (ANI)
