From Wikipedia:
White People is a 2015 American documentary film directed, produced and starring Jose Antonio Vargas which explores white privilege in the United States.

What does it mean to be white? MTV’s ‘White People’ is a groundbreaking documentary on race that aims to answer that question from the viewpoint of young white people living in America today. The film follows Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and filmmaker, Jose Antonio Vargas, as he travels across the country to get this complicated conversation started. ‘White People’ asks what’s fair when it comes to affirmative action, if colorblindness is a good thing, what privilege really means, and what it’s like to become the “white minority” in your neighborhood. For more information on ‘White People,’ and to join the conversation, head to race.lookdifferent.org.


It's a solid watch. Really makes you think about how privileged some of us are -- something we shouldn't take for granted. Check it out when you have some time, but be prepared to feel like an rear end in a top hat afterwards. :unsmith:

we already had this thread dipshit. Pretty sure it was sent to the gaschamber because too many millennials had white guilt or whatever.

Interesting, but not nearly white enough. I suggest we do the thing where we shake each other's ankles.

Here are a couple professional white people demonstrating.

this documentary seems really cool, i think it's a good thing that MTV made this and that they are pushing this into the spotlight because white people need to be forcefed education because education is sometimes uncomfortable and white people don't know poo poo about accepting discomfort


anyway, i'm excited about this and as a non-white i'm very much looking forward to watching this documentary with my beautiful WHITE wife :v:
