The controversial (apparently) MTV documentary "White People" in full

This is an MTV youtube account so there should be no copyright issue causing the documentary to be pulled . The complete documentary is here. I personally haven't watched it yet but plan to this weekend!


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.

But the PTBs don't want that. Must keep us hating each other so we don't notice them picking out pockets.
