What's the experiment here?

Basically they invited bunch of people to a job interview for an international company. They staged it so supposedly a black man would be waiting for the interview too. He shows them a message he received in Lithuanian and asks the Lithuanians to translate it.

That is what happened.

The moral is?

You're looking for a moral in a public experiment. If you're here to whine, go away.

As far as I know I'm not whining.

It's just reading a Facebook status in front of a black person. What have you learned from this experiment?

I don't get the point of the experiment either. What was the experiment trying to find out?

It's pretty much in English. Just skip the intro.

Basically, the black guy asks a Lithuanian to read out a message that he was sent in Lithuanian in Facebook which contains heavily racist material. The experiment was to find out how the people will react and will they condemn whoever has sent that message, out of which all have done so.

Saw this in school. In fact this situation would make everybody to reconsider their actions.

Its english by voice.
Simply a fake message was sent to the people that there's an intl. company in need of workers.
People came here and saw an african race person waiting here too.
They was asked to wait a bit before application start.
The newcomer to Lithuania asked if another one is lithuanian.
He says to have just came to Lithuania (Also there is very less african people here , like 500 or smth so u wont see them everyday so thats why racism is high) , and says that his facebook 'friend' from lithuania sent him a message which he could read in front of people. Unfortunately the message was to meant to be insult against the black dude and run him away from country, the fake letter text was:

"Monkey, what are you doing in Lithuania, go back to Africa, that your smell wouldn`t be here , if you will not get this , we will catch you, and from your slave skin we will make shoes."

And people who trought thats a job interview waiting room , had to read it for him and translate it , and felt very ashamed for their country problem at the moment they read this.
Simply you can hear it all in video.

According to the experiment, all 'permissions' were gained before the video was uploaded. The little girl's parents permitted it for her.

There is no data about how many people they actually experimented with, and there is no data on how many people refused to give their permission. If someone didn't show a great deal of emotion, refused to translate it for him without any sympathy or just read it aggressively to him, they obviously wouldn't give their permission to have that uploaded on the internet. So the only people who would have given permission are the ones who were nice to him. Secondly, even from all those who gave permission, they can only put a very small number of people in the video to avoid making it several hours long. Obviously they selected only those who showed the most empathy.
One thing that shows this is that there's only one little girl. Why not more? It is pretty obvious that if they were going to invite little girls/children, they would invite more than one. Yet only one is shown on camera.

The experiment specifically shows those people who are being the nicest, without any information on how the rest behaved. Also, it is never told to the participants that the african american is an applicant. Their assumption would be that he might be an applicant but he also may be an employee. For all they know, from their perspective he could be their future boss. They'd be inclined to be nice to him.

tl;dr Video is biased and shows only those who were the nicest and showed the most empathy. No data on how many people behaved how, only that out of an unknown number of people, a few were nice. Which is entirely to be expected.

I pointed out how the experimental results are invalid. How the heck do you make the connection of calling him a filthy african slave to the validity of the experimental results?
