The McGruff Files: People, Different
But Alike Aimed at teaching children how to get along and make friends
with people they view as "different," McGruff the Crime Dog and his nephew
Scruff examine some of the things that can happen when people don't make
the effort to understand and appreciate each other. They discuss hate
crimes and the consequences to both the victims and the perpetrators.
The multi-ethnic cast depicts how children hurt themselves and others
through prejudice against people with different skin colors, people from
other countries and cultures, and people who speak with an accent. McGruff
explains that hate crimes sometimes are committed by people who are afraid--afraid
of people whose beliefs and cultures they don't understand. McGruff explains

and understand what makes other people special. © 1993
