Common Fallacies About Group Differences is a short film from 1957 released on 16mm. It is held in the Prelinger Archives collection.

ANALYZES 7 COMMON NOTIONS ABOUT RACES, HEREDITY & GROUP DIFFERENCES IN THE LIGHT OF KNOWN SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. SHOWS IN WHAT WAYS THEY ARE ALL FALLACIES. Prompted by a discussion between painters sitting at lunch, this film analyzes seven common notions about races, heredity and group differences in the light of known scientific evidence, and proves them all wrong. Since it's situated on a college campus, the discussion benefits by the availability of modern audiovisual aids (an overhead projector) and attempts to delve under the surface of stereotype. Overall, it's a relaxed, humorous discussion that certainly shows its age.
