Subject: Dialect tapes



Does anyone know of any good audio recordings that can be used to highlight the

 fact that the initial judgments we make about people--their ethnicity, SEC, et

c.--when we can hear but not see them are often false? When I was in graduate

school at Indiana in the late '70s and early '80s, one of my professors had a r

eel-to-reel tape of about 30 speakers, black and white, various SECs, that made

 this point beautifully; but when I queried her recently, she said the tape had

 been used so much that it eventually wore out. I'll be grateful for any sugge

stions. Thanks in advance.
