- 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.

For those asking why America has such an unhealthy obsession with race... please view the history of our country and what it was built upon.
Bullshit. It was not like this just 10 years ago. Now weve got racist obama and feminist sjw hilary stirring the racial shitpot.
Humans should move forward stop holding decedent's accountable for the issues they're ancestors created. We can only speak for ourselves move forward ... geeze!
+Lineage2MediaCom false. slavery actually still continues worldwide today and is more than twice the amount it was back then. it's sad.
+Howl AtTheMoon 1)Africa is not and was never one big homogenous country. 2) African leaders enslaved their enemies not based on race and did not enslave their offspring. 3) Whites in Europe already had indentured servitude. 4) Whites in America enslaved them based off the sense of racial superiority and enslaved and sold the offspring of slaves.
In short you are really an idiot about history.
+Lineage2MediaCom 1 ) Ending slavery because it was politically convenient and following it up with legalized racism is nothing to be proud off.
Welfare was given to slaveowners not slaves.
Having a black minority president is again nothing to be proud off.
Whites are not the sole contributor of western civilization and justifying past atrocities by saying that blacks are not in worse conditions when things could and should be better here is a stupid argument.
as an immigrant to the USA, I really need to ask:
What's up with the USA's unhealthy obsession with race?
I swear, this documentary is just cringe-worthy and stupid...
+ܣܗܕܐ ܝܘܢܢ I feel the same, I'm also an immigrant in the USA due to my mother's job transfer (1994 to the present).

I know, it just blows my mind about how they obsess with race...
Why do they obsess with something so trivial I mean for Gods sake!
I don't know, and that is what depresses me. When I lived in Europe and visiting the Caribbean, this wasn't an issue for me, but maybe for some people in my family or friends.

I come from the Middle East (I'm not Muslim) and people there put alot of focus into faith and the reason for that is that Faith can be changed but with the West, there's racial issues and you can't change race as it's genetic compared to faith.
+ܣܗܕܐ ܝܘܢܢ I was born and bred in the US in the "South", or what's known as the "Bible Belt" for that matter almost 35 years ago,and to this very day,I don't think I'll ever really understand it,either. Sadly,it's a thing that America's just cursed with. Some people are just obsessed with the past and won't learn to let go of an earlier period of this nation's history.
The Scholarship girl is a great representation for many of comments below
She believed she was being penalized for her race based mostly on the fact she didn't get what she wanted.
Then when the facts were given to her about how scholarships really work, she suddenly was the victim and felt attacked.
Basically some people aren't even capable of talking about race without getting defensive and playing the woe is me game. Hell, this documentary was created to give white people a voice on the issue of race, and many folks still got defensive and felt attacked. Not to be mean, but many of you wouldn't last a week in the average minority shoes with that kinda mindset.
TheDalinkwent I agree with you. It'd be fair to point out though, we wouldn't last a week without joining the Nation of Islam (One example). Minorities can still be racist.
TheDalinkwent spawktalk.blogspot.com/2015/07/do-universities-discriminate-against.html
Many people believe that universities discriminate against white people in admissions and in the giving of grants. According to the MTV documentary “White People” this is false. According to MTV, whites are actually 40% more likely to get a private scholarship than non whites are and this refutes the idea that universities discriminate against white people. In this post I will show that MTV presented information dishonestly in their documentary and that the very study they cite actually shows that white people are discriminated against in the grant giving process. Then I will review the academic literature showing that even greater discrimination against white people exists in the admissions processes of elite America colleges.
MTV bases its claim off of the paper “The Distribution of Grants and Scholarships by Race“ by Mark Kantrowitz. In this paper Kantrowitz looked at the proportion of different kinds of grants given to a nationally representative sample of 214,000 American college students between the years 2003 and 2008. As MTV reported, the analysis showed that Whites are more likely than non Whites to be given a private scholarship. What MTV did not report, however, was that the average private scholarship given to a minority student was 18% larger than the average private scholarship given to a white student. More importantly, MTV ignored the data from the same paper on all grants, rather than just private scholarships, which showed that non whites are roughly 10% more likely than whites to be given a grant. Clearly then, MTV cherry picked data from the study that supported their narrative and ignored results of the very same paper that contradicted it.
Curiously absent from MTV's coverage is any mention of discrimination in the college admissions process. Many colleges put a premium on Black and Hispanic students such that they are more likely to be admitted to the university than an equally, or even more, qualified white student. In fact, a recent survey of 338 American universities showed that one in four colleges openly admit having such policies. These effects are the most extreme among highly selective colleges. This isn't surprising since, by definition, non selective colleges admit almost anyone. One recent survey of officials from 68 highly selective colleges found that “ membership in an under-represented group” tied with “exceptional talent” as the top pick for what makes a student “fit” their university.
The best work on this subject was carried out in 2004 by the Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade. Espenshade's study utilized data on 124,374 applicants to 10 of the most selective universities in the whole country. He found that if you control for differences in SAT scores, whether or not applicants had alumni in their family, and whether or not they were involved in college athletics, black applicants were 5.2 times more likely than white applicants to be admitted. Hispanics were 3.5 more likely than white students to be admitted and Asians were 0.7 times as likely. Similarly, a recent report from the Association of American Medical Colleges found that if you look at students who apply to American medical schools with MCAT scores of 26-24 (a bad score) and GPAs between 3.2 an 3.39 Blacks were over 7 times more likely than Whites to be admitted while Hispanics were 3.7 times more likely to be admitted. The reason that MTV chose to ignore this literature is obvious. It clearly demonstrates beyond any reasonable doubt that there is severe discrimination against Whites (and Asians) in elite academic institutions.
One effect of this pro Black discrimination is that Blacks can get degrees without being as smart as the White people who get the very same degrees. This was demonstrated in 1992 by the Department of Education's National Survey of Adult Literacy. The NSAL interviewed a nationally representative sample of nearly 14,000 Americans and tested their ability to read, understand documents, and use math in practical everyday scenarios. The test of mathematical skills is the most revealing: the NSAL found that Blacks in graduate school scored, on average, in-between Whites who never went to college and Whites who went to college but never received a 2 year degree. Blacks with a 4 year degree scored the same as Whites who never went to college at all.
One obvious consequence of this is that it means that if you compare blacks and whites with the same qualifications on paper the white individual will tend to be significantly more competent than the black individual. This may be why, as liberals so often like to point out, if you have whites and blacks apply for a job with identical resumes white applicants are usually preferred over black ones. Thus, it may indeed be racism that explains the results of these experiments. Only that racism might be anti-White.
MTV's attempt to deny that universities discriminate against White people was pathetic. It is the only kind of anti White discrimination that everyone knows about and their own sources clearly showed that it was real. They cherry picked numbers and lied hoping that no one would notice. In so doing MTV has demonstrated for us another prevalent form of anti White racism: the media is constantly trying to push the false narrative that society is structured in such a way that Whites are illegitimately more successful than non Whites and, as a result, White people owe something (or everything) to non Whites. The fact that they have to result to blatant lies to prop up this narrative is telling. The narrative is bullshit and the harder they push it the more obvious that becomes.
TSwiftfan88 Sigh...the point was the girl was whining that she felt slighted because she didn't get any scholarships and that minorities had a advantage and yet data proves white people are 40% more likely to get scholarships than minorities.
Now you're saying its because they work harder than blacks, which you have no way of knowing besides pulling it directly out of your ass.
Whats so goddamn frustrating about reading comments like yours is folks of your ilk are quick to dismiss any type of racial bias, but then will spew racist bullshit as a argument. Unless you've personally witnessed the work ethnic of every white and black student in the nation then you couldn't possibly know why whites are more likely to get scholarships than blacks.
TheDalinkwent White students get better grades than black students on average. That's a fact. www.journal-online.co.uk/article/6058-study_claims_white_students_get_better_grades_than_their_black
Or are you one of those people who think facts and data are racist?
TheDalinkwent "quick to dismiss any type of racial bias" I'm not dismissing a racial bias. When it comes to scholarships there IS a bias against white people.
Here's a list of scholarships www.rmu.edu/FinancialAid/TypesofFinancialAid/ExternalScholarships there's a section for just Hispanics; there's a section for just Minorities. Please show me the section for just white people??? If white people have an advantage then clearly there must be a section just for white people.

A scarily significant number of people are missing the point of this documentary. It's not meant to shame white people or make us feel guilty for being born white. The point of this documentary is to highlight the significant differences between being white in America vs being a person of color in America. If watching this documentary made you feel angry or guilty or shameful, then dig real deep and ask yourself why that is. Because unless you've thought or done something worth being ashamed of, the volatile reaction you're having isn't normal. Acknowledging that we benefit from white privilege doesn't mean people want us to "take responsibility" for things like slavery. It means acknowledging that the system our society was built upon unfairly benefits white people more than people of color. Collectively, no matter what race you are, we should make an effort to change that injustice.
***** Because a lot of white people do live in their own little bubble. It wasn't until my college years that I even realized that most of my friends, acquaintances, etc. are also white. There's never really a "token white friend," so to speak. We live in a society where a lot of people, either consciously or subconsciously, view being white as the default, so they never question why it is that they don't have many or any friends of different races. Again, it's nothing you should be ashamed of unless you are actively and purposefully avoiding any sort of relationships with POC. It's just another one of those things we should take the time to discuss and think about why it's more likely to encounter a white person who only has a handful of friends outside of their race while someone whose not white has plenty of white friends - sometimes more than people who are of the same race as them.
*****
Why are you so fixated with black people? They aren't the only minority, yet every example you've given is "black people" this and "black people" that. Additionally, a black person doesn't have to live in "inner city areas" to have a majority of friends who are also black.
Again, there's nothing shameful about someone admitting they don't have a lot of friends outside of their race - to say that they live in a "bubble." But it's important to think about why that may be. It could be because they live in an area where there aren't a lot of other races; therefore, it's within reason that most of their friends are the same race as them. But if that's not the case, then asking why their group of friends is only or mostly one race is an important question. And like I said, this seems to occur more frequently with white people.
If you're offended by that, then I don't know what to say. No one is trying to offend you. And honestly, no one is saying anything offensive. They're just speaking up on how this society works. You can't just be "offended" by something because talking about it happens to make you feel uncomfortable or guilty.
***** But white folks don't have to worry about being pulled over by the police or followed in a store when the go to a predominately white neighborhood....
***** James, you sure are a funny man. Nobody said anything about a moral lesson or being sheltered. Did you watch the same documentary as me? Did you genuinely read and take the time to process my comments? Because it seems to me that you have ENTIRELY missed every single point of this documentary and my comments. So sorry you couldn't make sense of it all because you're too busy throwing a pity party for being "shamed." Cry me a river.

The purpose of this documentary isn't to create a "racial divide" or incite race wars, it's to educate. And it's doing it in a respectful manner. White people are not being attacked. This only aims to open up a conversation about race in the U.S.

I'm Black. When I was younger, I went to a predominantly Black school in a more rougher area of my state. I never really thought much of race, mostly because I was younger and it never really popped into my head that much. My parents raised me to be a respectable, law-abiding, and nice person. So I spoke proper, didn't use any slang, and had a strong moral code. Because of that, a lot of the black kids around me who either weren't raised as such or just didn't care, always called me "White". I got called White for following the rules, reading at my grade level, and doing my work.
Then I went to a more predominantly white school in the seventh grade in a nicer area of the state. I had a lot of white friends, but not very many black friends. A lot of the black kids in that school were acting up, causing trouble, blah blah blah. Now of course there were the fair share of white kids acting up, but it wasn't as much of the white populous as it was the black. However, there were significantly less black students than white at my school. There were black students that weren't causing trouble like the others were. But by the populous that regularly acted up, didn't do their work, and spoke with slang, I still got called white. Then some of the white kids would say "Wow, you're really nice for a black guy" or "You talk really well/white". After a while, I started to go along with it and I'd introduce myself as a an "oreo" or a "really white black guy".
It wasn't until I got into college that I realized, after a talk with my dad, how messed up that joke was. Basically, the entire premise behind it was that black people were the ones causing trouble, not doing work, and being bad, while white people were the exact opposite. And because of that, any black kid that did their work, spoke properly, didn't listen to rap, and didn't cause any trouble, was white, and vice versa. I realized that joke was stupid and it perpetuated a stereotype that needs to be stomped out, or at least people need to realize that not all black people are trouble-makers or slang-talkers. It can be really easy to think that because those are the ones more predominantly shown in the media, but honestly, if white people were shown to be acting up on a more regular basis *like* a few unfortunate members of my race were, then people would be more likely to think that toward white people.
Basically, what I'm saying is that if you refer to yourself as a "White-black person" because you're nice, upstanding member of society that does their work and doesn't cause trouble, that's not right. Even if it is a joke. Because all you're doing is just furthering the stigma that all black people are the trouble-makers you sometimes see on the television. There are black people that do so much good for society, and there are black people that don't. There are white people that do so much good for society, and there are white people that don't. Every race has their own group of people that don't do right and act foolish. That doesn't mean we should let that group define an entire race, even if you do happen to see them on the news committing crimes more than another. Just because a few black and white people run gangs and talk like they're idiots, that doesn't mean that's what the entire race stands for and that *definitely* doesn't mean that's what the entire, or even a majority, of that race is like. This extends to *all* races, not just whites and blacks. You should not define an entire race just because certain people do or have done certain things. Slavery does not give any black person an excuse to be cruel or unfair to a white person *unless that white person has taken you as their slave right here, right now.* Just because yes, a vast majority of white people *back a long time ago* were slave masters, slave owners, or just flat-out agreed with slavery, doesn't by any means mean that all white people back then *and* today are like that.
All that matters is you figure out who *you* are. Not this stigma of "Black people are ghetto" or "White people are stuck-up and boring". Just do you, and look back on great leaders of our respective races that pushed for rights, equality, and progression. That's what it means to be a certain race.
+Evil Woody101 Forgive me, but how does that relate to what I'm saying?
***** Well that's a little rude. All I want to do is understand your side of the argument and how you think it relates to what I'm saying.
I mean, I understand what you're saying and to an extent, I do agree. For years, some people have placed such an importance on race that it has become like a hierarchy in a sense. The higher up on the race chain you are, the more regarded you are.
Nightmare Miura That was also a little rude. You assume that just because I haven't subscribed to a Black youtuber that I'm not Black? Besides, I am actually subscribed to at least two Black UA-camrs that I can recall right now, one being KSI and the other being Tyrone Magnus. Did you look through my *entire* sublist before making that argument?
And even if I weren't subscribed to a Black youtuber, how does that in any way make me a liar? I could link you to my actual Facebook, if you wish. Or my other UA-cam channel that I made a video on with myself in it. I'm sure that would enough proof to suffice. Also, I'm into anime and games, yes, but I am not into furries. And if your comeback to this is something rude and childish like you just started off with, you've already lost the chance to have any meaning to your argument.
If you wanna come at me with something, come at me like an adult, unless you want to be like the other person that I argued with in this comment thread.
Nightmare Miura I never posted any actual real information pertaining to myself, besides the fact that I have a Facebook. But a lot of people have one, so really you could just look up my or anyone else's name and find one.
Now, I never claimed to be disliked by the entire African American race. Just the few that had skewed perceptions of the world and wanted to keep me down. But every race has members like that. It doesn't mean those few people are the definition for the entire race, and I never said or implied that they were. I'm well aware that the some of the Black kids I went to school with that wanted to bring me down to their level didn't like me for my personality as well as my education. But what I'm saying is after a while, I decided I didn't need their approval, because they were what the African Americans weren't about. It's the upstanding ones like Martin Luther King Jr, Maya Angelou, and James Armistead, and even some of the Black heroes alive today that are what our race should be about. Progression.
And as if your arguments weren't long themselves.
It's reasonable to assume you're just a troll, trying to get a rise out of me. It's a shame that isn't really working, isn't it?
Being white is a good thing. Just like being black is good, or brown, yellow, purple, indigo, blue, whatever. Being any race is not inherently bad.
Nor is it inherently good.

Lol ppl forgetting about Hispanic
{cookiemonster} Stu:Dio Hispanic is not a race. I’m Hispanic by ethnicity, but my race is white because I descend from Spaniards, whom are whites. I suppose the type you are describing are the ones that look like Mario Lopez and George Lopez. Those people’s race is called mestizo, which is a mixed race between White and Native American. So I think you really meant “what about mestizo?”.
El Matador Goerge Lopez and Mario are both mixed with black also which is why there considered more as a Latino than Hispanic........There both mixed the same goes for Jennifer Lopez the bitch ain't get an ass from those Hispanics .......Im so glad that you are educated cause most people swear that Hispanic is a race when in fact they were just white people with georgous hair .............
trinity Dowling Hispanics were originally Spaniards and Portuguese for thousands of years. The US made up this make believe “Hispanic” race in the 1970’s they use for mixed race mestizos, mulattoes and triracials from Latin America. Jennifer Lopez is triracial white, Native American and black, but she is European dominant. Both Mario Lopez and George Lopez are European dominant mestizos (European/Amerindian mixed race). George has only like 4% black and he is mostly like a mix of white and Native American. Mario Lopez, I recall was white and Native American. Most Latin Americans in the US seem to be European dominant mixed race people. In Latin America, most seem to be either white (mainly in South America) or mestizo (white/Native American mixed race).
Originally, Latinos were Europeans. First, they were central Italians, but then became mainly Southern Europeans from Spain, Portugal, Italy as well as the French and Romanians.
But in the US, the words Hispanic and Latino, which are European identities that belong to whites have been incorrectly used to refer to Latin Americans of any race, many times excluding the real Hispanics (Spaniards and Portuguese) and real Latinos (Italians, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Romanians).
"Researchers have proven scientifically that humans are all one people...The color of our ancestors’ skin and ultimately my skin and your skin is a consequence of ultraviolet light, of latitude and climate. Despite our recent sad conflicts here in the U.S., there really is no such thing as race. We are one species-each of us much, much more alike than different. We all come from Africa. We all are of the same stardust. We are all going to live and die on the same planet, a Pale Blue Dot in the vastness of space. We have to work together."

Seph F Lexy Mordio Yea it seems I do. The only reason he said this is to appease the masses and yes, humans are all one race, but we are not all the same.
Like he even says this in the quote saying that skin colour and so on is due to numerous factors like climate, which would directly affect your DNA structure. That is why whites became white, due to them living in a colder climate and needing to absorb more vitamin D in colder climates and blacks being darker to regulate that, being in a warmer climate. Due to this, strong differences can be seen in the DNA and is why, scientifically, not all humans are the same. Also, Lexy he doesn't work closely with DNA often, he is a Mechanical Engineer.

White isn’t a real word, neither is black. The term White only came to existence because black people were introduced to society as slaves, before that white was a meaningless statement. What are you Irish? Are you German? Are you English? And same with the term black, are you Bantu? Are you Zulu? Are you Nigerian? Are you Jamaican? These colored terms are shit labels given to us by our corporate masters who want to label their consumers like cattle.
Pat Pearce white people scalped more natives than the other way around. Y’all would scalp the Native Americans and sell their hair and most likely getting paid more if they have evidence on killing them. We couldn’t even vote until 1924, forced sterilization on Native Women until the 1990’s. In Alaska we were only given 10% of our land and let’s not forget that we are the biggest state in America, Native Americans were forced off their own land that was given to them by the government. And the government is literally throwing waste on the little land they have left. Also, we have the highest police brutality than any other race today, our women are being murdered and have gone missing. And here no one bats an eye, this has been our land for 10,000’s and Thousands of years.

And fyi, Uncle Phil is the host of my system of head mates, and if you can't accept that, then you need to check your damn privilege!
White people, no one is blaming you for the actions of your ancestors. All ethnic backgrounds and races have done bad things at one time or another. It's not all about the past as it is about white people today RECOGNIZING that they BENEFIT from the privilege that stem from racism, slavery, and the oppression of an entire group of people in a country that was widely created on the backs of black slaves. After White people accept that fact, then it will be much easier to have the conversation, heal ALL OF OUR WOUNDS, because white, black, native americans, etc., are all hurting from what has happened in the past, and we can figure out a plan for everyone to finally live EQUALLY in OUR country.
***** I don't see this comment you speak of. I bet I can find a white supremacist in our Congress in 2015. I'm just saying. Maybe you should step out of yourself and try to be more open minded because I really can't find any comment that's blaming white people. I'll keep looking.
Lol come on. That doesn't speak for nearly 1/4 of the black population on UA-cam let alone America.
Chris Beauchamp So, did Turkey benefit as well? Given that far more slaves were sold to the Islamic Caliphate than to Europeans and slavery was still used by them until the Ottoman Empire was defeated in 1917. Every group in human history has done terrible things to others, no one's hands are clean.
I fail to see what that has to do with anything, listen, the problem with white people is that most of you fail to grasp the simple concept of acceptance. We live in america. AMERICA, which was built on the backs of black slaves. And white people refuse to accept the simple fact that many of your Fortune 500 companies benefited or were created through the selling, trading, and the exploitation of other human beings! The white privilege that you benefit from to this day stems directly from slavery! Black people still were not viewed as equal even when slavery was abolished (JIM CROW), and we JUST earned the right to vote in 1964 and didn't have to worry about being killed or take bullshit literacy tests that the average American wouldn't pass, or pay bullshit poll taxes. It is your white privilage that allows you to sit behind a computer and tell me that essentially slavery in America wasn't "that bad" because slavery happened in other places too. In no other place is the enslavement of black people felt more strongly TODAY than in America, period. How about you go do a history lesson and see how your ancestors treated mine, wake up, and then you can comment on a post about racism in America.
Chris Beauchamp I believe you guys fight between brothers, Americans vs Americans, when the reason why you guys had legally slavery is because of the British heritage, in Spanish territories it was totally forbidden by law since the Catholic Kings in 1490's.
Be grateful to live where you live today, 90% of the world population would kill to be born there in the US, being WHITE OR BLACK, with those opportunities being brought ALMOST equally to both razes. I say almost equally because it is true that sometimes getting our of poverty can be really hard, but the amount of black people being able to prosper and get rich is big enough to claim that both have many opportunities, that simply, in other countries would be impossible.

True.. theres too many individuals who have issues INTERACTING with different people's from different cultures. I'm African American my parents from West Africa. I have a diverse group of friends. My godchildren are Irish their father was born in Dublin. My roommate/ bro is white, Spanish, Mexican,French and Italian. In Texas we try to promote Unity. It's ok to be proud of your culture and background or heritage but yelling hateful comments isn't of God.
I agree I just hope that minorities don’t assume that all or even a lot of whites are racist. I feel this sometimes is the case and 99% of whites I know don’t think about nor care about race so, as much as there’s still racism out there, I think peoples’ perception can make it seem more severe
It should also be said that most Trump supporters are not racist contrary to what seems to be popular belief. People don't seem to realize Americans can be proud of their heritage and country while not being a bigot. There's good and bad in every country's history.

It was honestly nice to see that white girl complaining about scholarship getting CLOCKEDT.
Rozmic yet white women get the most affirmative action
Alessandro Borsellino The scholarship "analysis" had all the symptoms are a cursory examination to provide the desired result. The difference (as per the figures supplied by the geek trying to look cool) is rather small, and a quick look at the bell curve indicates that it would be greater if Blacks were subjected to REAL equality.Don't see many Chinese , Jews or Japanese whining about "inequality"( unless it's to gain an unfair advantage) as they are smart enough to be able to enter on their own academic record.
Alessandro Borsellino Why? People have to apply to actually get scholarships. They don't just mail them to your house.
Seph F Simply because she felt as if she was being discriminated against when in reality she wasn't!
Alessandro Borsellino

That whole part confused me, where did they get the 40% number? Just based off the amount of students per race or based off actual applicants?
i'm white, and i dont feel guilty about it nor i feel that i am advantaged.
88pie88 Yeah, because you have been taught that. You have to realize that minorites in america have more privledged than the wealth in poor countries. Minorites in america get public assistance, free college tuition and get jobs handed to them because there has to be certain amount of minorites in a job, whether they are qualified or not. This shit is going to start chaos in this country.
88pie88
Because you just don't get it.
Jammes mark I know, i am basically saying that i am white and proud. no mongol tears will change my mind.
88pie88 In other words, you are a sane and sound-minded individual, and don't buy into propaganda designed to hate yourself. Very rare in these times. Good on you.
Jammes mark
Just to correct a few things, minorities do NOT get more privileges than the wealthy. Hence why we're the minorities. According to this documentary, we DON'T get free college tuition. And being on public assistance is not anything good to look forward to. Majority of the people on public assistance are on it because they HAVE to and genuinely need the help. Nobody WANTS to be on public assistance. When you get it, it limits the jobs you can get and apply for, resulting in people staying on it for years with no way to get off of it. And as for the jobs, we definitely do not get handouts. We apply and go on interviews just like everyone else but due to the fact that we are minorities, we don't get it. Here's a fun fact... did you know that if two people were to hand in the same resume with the same exact experience and credentials but were signed with "white" and "black" names... the "white" name would be more likely considered for an interview?
So don't sit here and say that minorities get jobs handed down to them when there are 15,16, and 17 year olds out here looking for work so they can save up for college (because after all.... we learned they're less likely to get scholarships) and even adults with great resumes who won't even be considered just soley based off their skin color.

You only have to self hate, if you are actually racist.

Same. There being taught that at schools, and there eating it up. I'm proud to be white. I keep my head high with zero white guilt
you shouldn't be prideful (or guiltful) for anything you had no control over in the first place
White people tend to associate with other white people? And? Is that not the case for any other race? Tight nit Asian communities, black communities, Hispanic communities, etc.. Even among white people you still get people who tend to group with Irish, or Italian, or Jewish groups etc.
The Asians are the real underground racist? How often do you see an Asian dating outside their race? In the very rare occasion they do it is with a white person and almost never a black.
Jimmy Schmidt
I don't consider it racist to prefer to associate those that are similar to you. Doing so does not mean they hate other races. That is my point. So I don't consider Asians or any group racist for associating with those they are most similar to.
I see asian women date outside of their race all the time
White people tend to associate with other white people. And: that means that their experience with race issues is limited.
That was the point. Not that not mingling makes you 'racist'.
Esther van den Berg
You really have to read into it to come to that conclusion... that isn't an inference that one naturally arrives at. That being the case, they would have qualified the statement with that explanation you gave. Furthermore... if that is what they meant, they should have said "Every race prefers to associate with people of their own race... so white people would not be as familiar with issues of other races, and vice versa.".
I am black and it is okay to be any color what you was born with but it is not okay to be racist .its a big difference 😁
so glad you found your way to this commet section
Is it okay to be proud about your color
Exactly thank you
You right it's okay to be black ✊🏾
don't be concerned with racism, my brother. Just be proud to be who you are. The best thing is to not have hate in your heart because everybody has prejudices.
Most people are too concerned with combatting racism these days that they become what they are fighting against. this applies to any ethnic group or race.
The thing that pisses me off is in the beginning segment that they say that the only thing about being white is the skin color, but being Asian, Africa etc. is having a cultural heritage. As well as them saying that white isn't a country. Black isn't a country, Asian isn't a country, and Native American isn't a country, but they all have countries in them that have very rich histories and fascinating cultures that should be celebrated by their descendants, no matter where in the world.
Most countries are in the name of language or religion or in the name of their discoverer, examples of countries in the name of their language:
France Germany Italy China Japan Korea
These are countries named after the language of their people
While there are countries named after people, for example:
America (Americo) and Saudi Arabia (Saud)
There are countries whose name is not related to a language, religion, or ethnicity, for example:
Algeria, Syria, Libya, Iraq .
Super JLK thats what you think
As shitty as this comment section is, I liked the documentary. It's bringing light to a topic that most white people don't talk about or even think about most of the time. And thank you so much for including native Americans in this! I'm plains Cree from Canada and our people are always left out when we were here before shit went down. It's really amazing to see us in a documentary, thank you. I wasn't going to watch this but curiosity took over. I think it was done in a way that works. It adresses white privilege in a non attacking way that white people will actually watch. It also uses facts compared to experience which needs to be done more. Especially loved the bit where it talked about being "colour blind" always thought it was a little bullshit.

geeklette99 I swear to god it seems like you people expect white people to bend over and give away all the power in their own country. To entirely stop looking after their own interests. Do you expect the Japanese to do this for minorities ? In Japan ?You're an anti white racist and nothing more !
Moe Lester Oh this wishy washy bull. Then what right does anyone but native Americans have to expect rights ? If you go far back enough in human history you will find everywhere people were waring, slaughtering and displacing each other. Human rights are a relatively new invention....I'll give you a guess as to which group invented them including the constitution which all this liberal and equality stuff stems from ? Clue...it even rhymes with "rights".
Moe Lester I mean are we really going to pretend that if the Chinese or the Mayans or whoever else conquered North America that they would be very peaceful and come sing kumbiya with the natives ? In a world where we all played by the rules of survival of the fittest, it just came to pass than certain groups proved fitter than others.
In the case of white people we proved to be especially ingenious in advancing quicker than other groups and then we set about doing exactly what they would have done to us if they could (and did, Europeans were slaved by the middle eastern empires for example). That's just history and you can guarantee than every group come from bloodthirsty, ugly histories. What you can't guarantee is that if another group had proven to be dominant that we would live in a world were things like "human rights", "liberty equality fraternity" and anti animal cruelty societies would exist. Nobody in fact other than whites has shown any appetite to look after the interests of anyone but themselves.....yet whites through their good nature have fought for lofty ideals. And it's this you benefit from and spit back in our faces ?
I don't really care about that. For me it just boils down to this.
Others : "Whites stop looking after your own interests! Live lives of guilt and shame and join the back of the que !"
Us after another few years of this.......
" No."
What you gonna do about it ?
Moe Lester America belongs to whomever took it and can keep it. Whites created a civilization here, and we intend to keep it.
Also, by your logic, Japan belongs to the Ainu, there are only a few thousand of them left, and Turkey belongs to the Greeks,
I have never owned a slave in my entire life. Why the fuck should I apologize for slavery?
Phil H Who asked you to apologize?
Bete Noire Pretty much everyone I've discussed the idiotic concept of "white privilege" with.
Phil H
If that's true (and I would urge you to examine that conclusion more closely), you've been talking to the wrong people. Of what use would an apology be in this context? Not an "idiotic concept", in my view.
Bete Noire They don't say it outright from the get-go, but if I get to the root of their hatred, that's what comes out.
And the apology isn't the end game. If I'm able to indulge them long enough, they want reparations. For something I never did. That never happened to them.
Phil H
I think maybe you're generalizing. You use the word "they" to describe a very large and fractious group of people. White privilege, as I understand it, has nothing to do with the past. Take a look at the examples posted on the blackboard in the workshop segment. If you have any real interest in this topic, beyond using it as a source of resentment, you owe it to yourself to think clearly about it. BTW, Why Wilde?

Aziz J Dumbest thing I've seen on here. If you are black you are, no words. Did you know the national housing association created laws that ensured Black people no matter how much money they had, had to live in poor neighborhoods, or people in poverty, which created 'ghettos'. Decreasing the property value of those black peoples homes, decreasing wealth and generational wealth to give to there kids,while white peoples homes gained property value and they made more money from this allowing them better opportunities? The whole thing is rigged and it only add unnecessary blame on black people who were the actual victims of a system. Do you want me to provide evidence? Because I feel it would do you one better if you actually looked it up. Now black people have to face people with thousands of dollars in head starts on disproportianatelly unlevel playing to where its nearly impossible to bridge the economic gap. You cant seriously be black and if you are dont ever speak for the culture again. The effects of slavery and self hatred that accompanied it always surprises me. It runs deep.

I liked this one. The white teachers on the native American reservation was the rawest part of the show to me. Because Native Americans discrimination really don't get talked about liked that and honestly not a lot has been e done to fix the wrongs done to them.

Because fixing something created new problems , new injustices. All nations that has had this kind of problems has just ignore it.

lola bigcups I agree with you. I mexican but Genetically im Native American like most Mexicans. We get discriminated cause were brown and don't speak English.
This is extremely racist.
This documentary isn't trying to guilt you for being white....or be racist against you, It's trying to raise awareness on the general difference in treatment and plight of white Americans versus minorities. I think most minorities can agree that we don't want you to feel guilt (unless you are racist), we want you to empathize with us or at least understand there is a gap in treatment and strive or at least hope for a change. Keep in mind I'm not saying white people don't have their own issues. I did not see any racism in this documentary. Can someone who did please explain it to me?
Wight Power I'm sorry, I could have sworn this was a documentary on AMERICANS. Until white people become a minority in America and another group surpasses them in numbers, they are the majority and the others are minorities.
gfdgdsa Who needs to respond to a point when you can just type louder.
Also, "whites" didn't build this country. America is a mixing pot. We just have happened to have gotten a lot of Europeans throughout the years.
Wight Power There have been multiple amendments to that act. Most specifically, the 14th amendment, which was implanted right after the civil war. This granted citizenship to people born within the United States and subject to its jurisdiction regardless of their parents' race, citizenship, or place of birth.
Native Americans weren't enclosed in this amendment but two years later that was changed.
There have been many other changes throughout the years including granting Pacific Islanders citizenship, and in 1952 when the Immigration and Nationality Act was passed, making it legal to come to America no matter your race or sex. Sure, it was edited substantially in 1965, but it was not implanted in 1965.
(Also, the laws were changed all the way back in 1795 when the time was increased from 2 years to 5 years. So don't act like the laws were never changed).

The girl at 14:56 is spot on. She never said it, but the implication is there that everyone else is being unabashedly racist, and they are.
Kind of like US media. Why doesn't Whiteywood ever hire an actual Native American or Asian American in their movies as lead actors? If a demographic of people feel like they are being neglected to be integrated into "white" culture then of course those people will lash out. They're blamed if they do and blamed if they don't assimilate. Movies like Last of the Mohicans and Last Samurai were both played by white men as lead actors in movies not even about cultures where they needed white actors. It's the equivalent of seeing an Asian man in Braveheart as the lead actor and then to have that movie being taken serious as Scottish culture. If white people are unaware of what is going on, then integration is utterly futile. I fear the worst as media has become even more polarized with less diversity instead of more inclusion since the 1980s until today.

+Tha Realest Not exactly an effective argument, but I will say that the whole "cultural appropriation" thing infuriates me as well. To tell people that they cannot participate in the cultures and traditions of other races, ethnic groups, and nationalities is segregation. In this idea's essence, it suggests that people of different race should draw dividing lines between themselves, and see their differences as irreconcilable. Hitler shared this idea. The Confederacy shared this idea. Isis shares this idea. It is revoltingly racist at its very rotting core. All cultures, all traditions, and all peoples are beauteous in nature and we should embrace them if we so desire because at our cores, we are all human, no matter how we label each other, and these ideas, these cultures and these traditions do not and can never belong to any single group, for they have all come from one place. The mind. They are part of a collective human bank of ideologies which has its origin in the brilliant mind.
Tha Realest
Discrimination and racism always begin with propaganda and reflect the society it is depicting. It's people like you that people who are neglected feel like they can never assimilate.
Pontus Svenja that's not what cultural appropriation is. If you borrow something from someone's culture in a degrading way, often for profit, that's when you appropriate it.

@@nandorblue Explain how.
White people are so lost about there privilege 🙄 it don't mean being rich but it mean in the United States due to racism its much harder for black people to get an equal chance for jobs ,housing, the list wide there people own everything you can't make a racist white people too give u a job , housing loan .
Western countries are THE most welcoming and tolerant places on earth of people and culture. I look forward to the same type of documentary on Asian people in Asia or Black people in Africa and why they aren't multicultural enough... who am i kidding? I won't hold my breath on that.
white people just have a very long history of raping, pillaging, taking shit that doesnt belong to them etc etc. Not to mention manipulation of the global economy and all the corruption. white people individually are okay but you cannot expect black people as a race or any other people that were destroyed at the hands of white people as a whole and still are in more insidious ways today to not have opinion. its history and its still happening. lol. secondly your speaking of generations of educated people versus non-educated people. The eugenics shit is bullshit, and white people only use it to make themselves feel better about all the pain and suffering and hate they have caused for themselves via the exploitation of others. when african nations get their reparations then white people might not be so hated in the world. That might be a while. lol.
you do realize that's because there's more racists in America than any place else
hahaha. best most accurate post right here. Everyone companing about white people should go live in Asia and see how welcoming they are of foreigners.

That way, groups that have their own agendas can predictably coordinate our actions to benefit them by making us feel like our efforts are making up for a burden we shouldn't be bearing in the first place!"
I'm tired of these political efforts trying to make everyone feel bad about shit that they have no responsibility for. Why can't they try to work towards unifying us by stressing that were all inherently the same and that were fundamentally good by nature? Building a foundation on a positive would have such a better impact on people than making them feel like shit about things they never should have felt responsibility for in the first place.
Madeline Monahan it's true, this holds as much water as worrying about pronouns and acknowledging the existence of 69 genders 😂
+matt molloy I see your point. But isn't there a difference between feeling bad about the past personally, and on the other hand acknowledging that the past happened and it affects the present?
Because you reap the benefits of what your ancestors did. If everything was completely fair for everyone, you would be innocent, but as long as you oppress, or stand by silently while others oppress then you are still guilty.
Jimmy Burnel my ancestors were slaves, so should I be given a handicap in life? Absolutely not, because I'm my own man and I build off of the strength of my own muscle. Maybe you lack a sense of self, but I don't.
matt molloy I was talking about fair play, not a crutch. No one wants a crutch, except for the racists.
I'm really confused as to what the message of this video was.
Black To Grace I think that was what the white girl thought. But the documentary coveted 3 other stories and had other interviews.
World Traveler. You're joking, right?
It's just talking about white people and trying to give other people a perspective into what it means to be white in a majority white country. No racism involved yet all the butt hurt insensitive little bitches keep whining.
*****
Exactly they could have just made a video about what it means to be black in Africa and no one, not even blacks would give a fuck. But when it's a video about what it means to be white in a white majority country, white people flip their lid, lose their shit and start flinging poo. Why?
The message I got from it was: White people should not be ashamed of being white or feel offended by white privilege, but they should realize that white privilege does exist, largely because of our complicated history with race in America. White people, along with everyone else, should not be afraid to talk about race, and should try to ensure that as a society we are treating everyone equally and fairly. It's fine to feel a certain way but before believing things based on our own feelings or experiences alone, we should do our homework and see if the facts match our feelings, correcting ourselves if needed. Lastly, the US is a melting pot and has had many different waves of immigrants and will continue see more. We should all be welcoming and respectful of each other and try to put ourselves in each other's shoes.
A people who are taught to feel guilty about their history will take no pride in it's future.
You should feel guilty about your past. White people victimized half the world and put themselves on top and still benefit from that. You should feel bad but thay doesn't mean you can't learn from their mistakes for a better future. All white people have to do is stop pretending to be a victim or at least stop being rasist but even that is a struggle.

Jay McBride I could say your comment is racist! I’m mixed raced. Half white and half black! I suppose you want me to feel ashamed of my history. That I should apologise for my ancestors past. Or what about my black side? Should I feel proud that they were slaves, owned by white people? No!
Your comment is racist in itself!
So I should feel guilty for something I didn’t even do or was apart of? And I guess since my skin is white that makes me racist. I guess white people can never be victimes either. This comment is racist!

I'm proud to be black, but walking freely thru society as a black man is far more different then it is then being white, and you start to really get sick of it, live and let live is my belief, but society won't just let you live, why is it white, black? How about a United States citizen, able to take advantage of all this country has to offer, black people who are go getters like me, 😃 will be successful, no doubt, i guess my real problem with being black is that people who are non black over react and remind me of my blackness everyday!!

You see I am immigrant who didn't speak English when I came to this country I was stereotyped! Looked up on differently! And even I was a victim of racist remarks by whites and blacks! But I kept it strong, I grew up poorly nothing was given to us my parents left us for 10 years to go to another country to work because we had nothing... I might be white but nothing was given to us. And trust me living with other white people does not give you a privilege, there are white people that can be really terrible and would like you to fail, but we all get that in every community event in your community there are people who will paint a picture of you...this society made you think that you are a second class but don't think that way... You see there are people already commenting negatively, and it only tells what kind of character they are.

No one should be ashamed of their race
If Whites in America wouldn't have given up so easily on their various European ethnic identities than they wouldn't be in this frustrating situation, that the only thing they are left to identify with is the color of their skin. I am a proud Hungarian, and this I can say in any country in almost any circumstance without getting funny looks. However you won't get away with it by stating that "I'm a proud White person" or even "proud White American".
***** That gotta suck, because it's too vague and rootless to identify with skin color rather than shared language, traditions, culture and mentality which is typical to ethnicities. This is why Europeans don't identify themselves as being White, as it is a common physical future to all of them. On the other hand a nationality, an ethnicity is a metaphysical identity to which people can relate more.
***** Not saying that there isn't an American identity, but this one is multiracial, hardly White, as it is composed of sooo many various pan-continental ethnicities. It would've been great if White Americans would've kept the various European languages of their ancestors. Besides Italians and Poles not many White Americans stayed in contact with their European roots.
Temesvári Hunor Very true, get back to the roots of where you come from and be comfortable in your skin, I`m Irish canadian and fucking hate it when im just labelled as white.
this is very offensive. its nof fair to judge someone by their race or color your a very racist person and i can say im a proud white american and it does mean something, i am a very cultured and impressive person and there are a lot of white people that are also impressive so dont say this because its just racist
Temesvári Hunor I agree with you 100%. Like he said, they gave up their identity foolishly for capitalism and globalism. When the country was 90% white, it was not needed, but bringing in tribalist people who do state and identify their culture didnt help. I have said that they will have to go back and start identifying their specific culture. A white congressional caucus would never pass, but a Polish or french congress would have a much better chance.
I'm turning into an actual white supremacist because of shit like this. Good job.
MrFreeGman XD
If this is what potentially makes you white supremacist, then you were not ready to be a non-racist person in the first place.
+Aramazd Khabayan You don't get it. I have been a non-racist person my entire life. I am becoming racist because of the constant attacks against my race by the left and ungrateful minorities (yes, you SHOULD be grateful to our ancestors for science, technology, modern medicine and civil rights, just as I am). We let everyone into our countries, we share everything with them, we give them rights, freedoms, education, opportunity, and yet we're still the bad guys. Everyone blames whites for everything, yet at the same time expects whites to fix everyone else's problems, like they're entitled to our help. Fuck that. Go build your own civilization in your own countries and leave us alone if we're so terrible. Of course you won't do that, because you can't. That's why it was so embarrassingly easy to colonize the rest of the world (a huge mistake in hindsight).
MrFreeGman white privilege as fuck
Couldn't agree more dude. Be proud of what your ancestors achieved and built, they wouldn't want it any other way. Everyone from all different races and places had been at war since forever, our english/european ancestors were just better at it. No point feeling bad about it.
This kind of shit nowadays really pisses me off. Not because I'm a white male that feels like shit is being taken away from me, but because when I was growing up I was taught to treat people the same, no matter what color or gender they were, only treat people differently based on how they treat you. But now, suddenly after a childhood of living without these walls inbetween all of us, society is starting to build them back up again. And it's totally the opposite of how I feel we should be going as a society, we're just regressing back to how our country used to be, except now the shoe's on the other foot. It's not the world I grew up in, and it's not the one I want our world to become. And I just don't see how people are letting this happen.
Amen.
What? A white male complaining about his privileged life?
Yup, now a days, the left focuses solely on skin color and what's between your legs while hiding behind "equality" speech. They actually believe if you ignore skin color or gender, you are racist and sexist. When in reality, it's them. They are just as racist and sexist as the people they claim to fight. Fucking embarrasses me to call myself a liberal sometimes because of all this race baiting identity politics bullshit.
It starts with each of us, as individuals, not making assumptions about other people, based on their appearance. It's one of the hardest things to do as a human, because our eyes are our biggest tool in figuring people, situations, and things out.

Generally speaking, the problem with non-white people talking about "white people" is that they tend to assume there's some broad homogenous identity we ALL cling to. I think many of you non-caucasians are thinking of the classic W.A.S.P. (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant). This implies a distinct Central European heritage/allegiance.
Technically speaking, many Arabs are "white" (though primarily phenotypically, not culturally)... Also, many Hispanics and similar groups (i.e. 19-20% of Mexicans) also fall under the legal (for documentation) and physical (phenotypic) category of "white".
Much of the REAL difference is in cultural values and heritage. It is unfortunate that many of the Caucasians they interviewed here are either 1. Camera shy, or 2. Woefully uninformed of their own national heritage and background.
On another note, the cuckoldry is strong with these kids
But whites have secret squirrel meetings behind the Walmart every other Tuesday!
Shit, this one knows too much! Get him, Caucasian brothers!
"You're probably wondering why i look like this" no iam not, but continue to assume you know what iam thinking.
Yeah, that was like - wtf dude.
It will be a better world if people start caring less about race, ethnicity and nationalism. Nothing wrong with being proud of it but realize we all are human first. I think white people get way more shit for racism and all than others. People of other nationality and ethnicities are actually way more conservative and holds biases towards their own race, religion, region and are very proud, showoffs and certainly un/knowingly more racist compare to average white american. But such hypocrites can never see it and accuses others for the same. Although America is white majority country but with time it's white population is only decreasing and in world whites are already a minority compare to other major races/ethnicity. America is biggest melting pot of different races and cultures of the world while most other major countries are highly conservative. In the end Human race is what we are!

No, the systemic racially discriminatory enrolment policies were victimising her. They're called "diversity".@@Solidude4
@@Solidude4 To be fair to here, it's fact that in the USA Whites and Asians are discriminated against for scholarships and higher education acceptance. It has been for at least over 2 decades. Feel free to look up the College Board statistics yourself. It is considered "a good thing" by college board as well, before you jump to the immediate conclusion they are "pro-white" or something, which is effectively illegal to openly be in this the US. If you are White or Asian you must score much higher than Blacks or Hispanics on standardized tests and other metrics.
@@ChronoStrife No that's not a fact lmao this documentary literally disproves this claim. Did you even watch it??
As an asian American born and raised in the states, I have met many white Americans who would begin to talk to me in slow english because they assume that I am illiterate and to them, thats okay to do. However, if I were to speak back to them in the same tone, they would see me as extremely rude and condescending. There is clearly a double standard there. What these people fail to realize is that I am just as American and just as human as they are and that not all minorities are non-english speaking immigrants.
The sad fact is: Many white people (especially in america) will never know how minorities feel when faced with subtle racism in their everyday lives.

Fatt Kidd True. To be honest with you, I didn't really watch it the whole video. I mean, it doesn't seem interesting to be honest. It looks like some typical MTV crap. But the comments make me wonder what is it about... You've probably watched the whole documentary, so would you mind telling me what's actually going on? :|
Haya H. It really just asks a bunch of white people about what their opinions are of racism and if they feel that they are being attacked. You won't get anything out of it unless you are a conservative because the only things they touch on are things that I hear from conservatives.
Fatt Kidd lol I knew it, thanks anyways.
I find this focus and care on race abhorrent. So most Americans are white, so what. If you view one skin color or ethnic group being the vast majority in a country, be it America, China, South Africa, etc. as a bad thing I think that makes you a racist.
I agree with MLK's dream of treating people based on the content of their character not the color of their skin. Stuff like this seems like the exact opposite to me.
If you look at the same study where they got that the 62% White HS students got 69% of the scholarships, you'll see that 37.3% of Whites had a GPA between 3.5 and 4.0 GPA vs. 27.0% for Minority students.
So, maybe they could have explained to that girl that White students might be getting more scholarships because of better grades, instead of not bothering to drill any deeper because it fit their narrative.
Just a thought...
Piff Longbow Facts are considered white oppression here.
Piff Longbow Thank you. I was going to look that up. But pointing that out is racist.
Piff Longbow You sir are a wise man
Piff Longbow maybe grades are higher because more minorities proportionally live in worse communities, henceforth minorities most likely wont get the best education available. with money resources are abundant. it wouldn't be false if someone said white people are the most affluent in this country. So if white kids with money have resources like better schools and tutors, then achieving such grades might come easier as oppose to a minority with far less resources. Honestly IMO white people aren't competing with minorities for scholarships, they're competing amongst theirselves. just my opinion give me your thoughts
I'm a Hispanic and my GPA is higher than a lot of the Whites at my university. I'm extremely intelligent and I'm tired of people labeling Hispanics as stupid. You basically are saying that whites are intellectually superior than nonwhites....and where are you getting all this data? One thing about statistics is that they're not reliable. They obtain a small sample of the population and based on the results they make a generalization about the population.....in case you didn't know that.

+Isaac Mathews also the whole fucking obsession about race , and about the little things that make someone "offended".

The 90% of men here who have been circumcised without their permission. Yes, I know it's not that big of a deal for you guys, but if you think about it more critically, you'll understand that it is essentially a non-consensual genital mutilation. You know who is oppressed? Gays, transgender people and minorities in Eastern Europe, (women too, to a certain extent... but not so much)...those are the people my heart aches for.

There will always be that group of bigots that can make generalizations about an entire race, and hate on them for those generalizations. And now a new type of bigots are coming around hating on white people. There are literally videos of african americans beating up white people literally because of their skin tone, no other reason.

Cleary you're obsessed, because a black didnt make this, that says alot about you. It also says you must know something about blacks that we dont know. You cant say the same stereotypical comments, therefore you turn your attention back to blacks.You a fan!
This is clearly an American hang up. If you judge any person based on any other criteria than whether they are a kind, respectful & decent human being then you are none of those things. People are *individuals,* not groups to be labelled & judged.

However, if we as humans act like it is not a factor in everyday life, it would be a fallacy, and a horrible disservice to ourselves and others! Being mindful of discrimination, racial prejudice and our own racial privilege is not a bad thing. I totally understand how you (i assume you are white), can feel "biasly" targeted by this video. But keep in mind this is from true accounts of people like yourself (race) that want to let others know what's going on in the world that they also had to find out themselves! I understand as a fellow human and I also know I can't completely understand exactly how you feel because i am colored! But i do know that it is hard and if we learn from each other and progress, we can make huge strides to being a more knowledgeable and understanding of others different from us! Racism is not born in us, it's a learned act! I coming from an loving and accepting place, and only wish to try to learn and teach more people! ALOHA... Have a great day or night
It obviously demonizes white people
are you serious? I am white and not "offended" by this video. I'm ashamed that this is produced in my country. Also, MTV used to be a cool channel... now it's just lame. Also, you're a rooster... so know one really cares about you.
sorry for being white and having a good family life?
zed zulrander this documentary isn't saying that you should feel bad for having a privilege, it's saying you should acknowledge that white privilege exists and not ignore race issues completely.
Why are you sorry? Just be thankful and recognize that not everyone is so fortunate! No ones hating on you for what you've been blessed with.
zed zulrander Why do you have to make it about how you feel? It's obvious that nobody's saying that being white is a bad thing. Why can't you learn something from the documentary instead of whining like a baby?
zed zulrander everyone who isn't white doesn't necessarily have a bad family life your comment is already ignorant cmon man did you miss the whole point?
Me to apparently I should feel bad for something that people I never knew did lol
Long ago I heard Dr. Martin Luther King's dream speech and loved its message. A world would exist where people would not be judged on the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
It's sad, tragic in fact, that so many people spit on this dream today.
His own kids literally hate all whites
Why do white people always concentrate on that part of MLK’s dream speech? It’s obvious to me white people are the people that do the judging based on color of skin. So why do they always quote that part of the speech as if they are somehow trying to teach the world to check the person content of character! This behavior to me is very insulting.
Societies leaders are now telling people to do the opposite. It is baffling.
LMAO
Did you read the whole speech.? There was context with that statement. He was speaking from the vantage point of people being judged because of the “color” of their skin.
I'm white and proud.
Well that's better than being ashamed :)
Professors in American colleges must be pretty sick, intentionally creating conflict through politics. Maybe try do the opposite, maybe try keep that out of schools as much as possible.

SJW spoken about in a deeming way is the sign of a mind controlled slave. We the people are soposed to wage war against social injustice.. who do you think it is fighting for your 2nd amendments right to bare arms..
This is were the problem sits, new phases and repackaging terms pop up; governments introduce words to halt old movements of freedom and trend setters jump on to it and ride it to their own jail cells.. anti-semitism, homeland security, Patriot Act. any rise against tyranny is shot down & killed by the very people that suffer worst by them...
everybody saw black lives matters but they never saw George Soros the economic hitman Zionist Jewish $600,000 behind the movement. That controlled and state the movement to their only gender. civil unrest to Usher in martial law...
No disrespect intended to anyone victim to mass mind control it is a powerful science..that prays upon the greed, theweak and fearful ..

I heard a rumor once MTV used to be about music
i heard a rumor that MTV used to be good
I heard a rumor that it is easy keeping in your confort zone...
I know right?!... MTV is sooo 90's it just needs to pull the plug on itself.

I heard a rumor that you might be adopted.
If you look at the comments you can see exactly what this documentary is talking about.
But why minorities and Black people got it ruff
Dark Void Not Asians.. lol.. Maybe it's because they're so fuckin' smart and don't need people to give them shit. Have you seen UCLA? It's almost all asian.
Tom Cat And that would be?
Tom Cat Exactly. Look at the Like/Dislike ratio too. They're proving why a documentary like this is necessary.
Jammes mark THATS ASIAN PRIVILEGE! WE NEED TO STOP IT NAOW!
The only 'privilege' in life is being born to two good parents. Two good parents who are both mentally & financially stable. Two committed, mature adults who are in a healthy long-term relationship and are greatly motivated to raise their offspring in a strong family environment. Races with poor family values are the ones who are 'struggling'. Try to find out which races are more likely to bring kids into this world, raise them in unfit conditions, and instantly place them at a disadvantage in life. Once you do that, then you can talk to me about 'white' privilege. And before you attack me, take note that I am not white.
Chet Lemon "Races with poor family values..."? So, in your fantasy universe, all people of color are from dysfunctional families and all whites are from families that are "both mentally & financially stable"? I sincerely hope you're under the age of 10; otherwise, that's just uninformed, lazy thinking.
Bete Noire You completely [and probably intentionally] misinterpreted what I said. Your 'argument' attempts to personally belittle me, puts words in my mouth, and also goes to the sarcastically ridiculous extreme to try to prove a point (which you failed to do). Lets put it like this.... Statistically, some races are less financially stable than others. Statistically, some races have very high teen pregnancy rates. Statistically, some races have high rates of single parent households. Statistically, parents of some races are more likely to abuse their kids. There's plenty of info that points to some races placing a much higher emphasis on the family environment than others. A black man from a stable middle class household is at no more of a disadvantage in life than a white man from a stable middle class household. A black man born into poverty is at no more of a disadvantage in life than a white man born into poverty. The confusion comes from certain races having a higher poverty rate. Being born into poverty isn't a problem with 'privilege' or 'the system', it's a problem stemming from parents bringing kids into unfit conditions. NOTHING will ever compensate for an unmotivated, irresponsible or unwilling parent. NOTHING. It's NOT up to society or the Government to compensate children for the irresponsibility of their parents.
If you seriously wish to debate this further, chill out with the ad hominem and keep your responses similar in length to mine. .
Bete Noire Brush up on your statistics. Statistical trends are not inclusive of everyone belonging to that group; that's just not how trends & patterns work.
Bete Noire Study up on Detroit.
Bete Noire I am not making any inaccurate statements about 'entire races'. As 'Studz' said, you have interpreted statistical trends as all inclusive. This is an error on you, not on me. I'm not sure why you've chosen to interpret information in that manner, but that's not what's being stated. If you want to talk about any specific stat I mentioned, let me know, I'll provide sources or we can just go down the list one by one. I am not attributing behavioral characteristics to race, but pointing out a cycle of self-inflicted misfortune happening within racial groups. A cycle that will continue until it's acknowledged and steps are taken to break it. Teen mothers are more likely to raise teen mothers, smokers are more likely to raise smokers, an abused child is more likely to abuse their child, welfare parents are more likely to raise welfare parents, single mothers are more likely to raise single mothers, drug users are more likely to raise drug users....it's a seemingly endless cycle. Unfortunately, we live in a society that yells 'RACIST!' whenever the shortcomings of any race are blamed for happenings within that race. It's much easier to hate the white man for all the problems in the world. Placing the blame on systematic racism is simply incorrect.

"...the norm, the default race..." well that's the problem right there.
***** Well dear, white isn't a default or norm for me, it's just another color
***** you might not think that way some of your friends may not think that way, but I'm sure there are quite a few others who do. It's an inherent in American culture. Why is nude makeup or nude underwear made to blend in with white skin? Why is the standard for beauty in America light, white and bright? Why is a movie with an all white cast considered mainstream and a film with a primarily black cast considered a race-themed film, regardless of the plot? The sentiment is there and not acknowledging it does nothing to move the conversation forward.
***** You need help. Hope you get it. Have a wonderful day :)
***** Hey! I'm absolutely not going to sit here and listen to you make racial slurs! YOU are simple minded. And you need some serious help. SunnyDaze is positively gorgeous. And she's right about these things too.

I remember when MTV was about music not about Communism
ah, the good ol' days

Lol. This is an important topic and a major problem in our history. I commend these young people of all races for talking about this issue. Especially the white youth bc it's always harder for whites to talk about each issues then any other race. What happened in the past happened, it still affects us today, it's still happening today. Ignoring it, calling talking about race "racism" and "communism" and saying "get over it" doesn't address the issues. It's a cover up to hush the topic bc the one surpressing the issue feels uncomfortable. Nobody is saying feel bad bc ur white, no one is saying don't b proud to b white, we're just saying acknowledge there is a privilege that comes with it. That is where change begins.
