Body Paragraph #1
: Beneatha and Asagai’s conversation about her
hair illustrates how Beneatha has internalized unattainable white
standards of beauty.
Body Paragraph #2
: Dr. Clark’s 1947 doll test experiment demonstrated
how racial prejudice severely inhibited black children from developing a
healthy self-perception.
Body Paragraph #3
: The CNN clip, “Doll Test” further illustrated that
due to racial prejudice, children, particularly black children, internalize
stereotyped, limited perceptions of themselves.

Racial discrimination hinders a person’s ability
to form a healthy self-perception, as that
person is excluded from standards of beauty,
behavior, and morality. Consequently, once a
person internalizes racially stereotyped views
of his/her own race, this person may be unable
to perceived her/himself as having control over
self-perception.
