- 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.

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.
Nellie K. Adaba
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.
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.

@Samriddhi Soperna America, the UK and Australia all have this issue.
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.
As a white person, I am so tired of fellow white people acting like they are victims and discriminated against even though in reality they have advantages in every area of life in this country. White people, if you can't make it in this country then you have no one to blame but yourself.

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.

@@LB-uo7xy I yes I remember this, it was right after white people had locked all the black people on the west coast into a giant domed city in what is now known as Southern California, then drained it of oxygen to see if they'd suffocate. They did but many survived at the cost of losing their melanated regenerative abilities and coiled hair to absorb the suns rays. This is how the Latinx people were born and have served the white race as attack dogs against the powerful African American's and their cunning basket ball tactics and the Native Americans and their lucrative casinos.
To white people from a Hispanic American. Don't be ashamed of who you are. You are OK the way you are. Focus on your becoming a better person, not apologizing for who you are or for what your ancestors supposedly did. Many Europeans came to the US without as poor and unprivileged immigrants. They had to work hard for their families and for their communities. Embrace your heritage, American and European.

@@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 .
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
I love being Black. Never be ashamed to be Black or White. Including: Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islanders, Middle Easterns, and etc.
F kouyate Difference is, no one here will call you a racist for saying you love being black. The real racists are those that won’t let white people love being white.
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).
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 CZcamsrs 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 CZcams 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?

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.

I'm black and love other races. If you're racist against me, that's the best way for me to move around you. All about respect.
I am Slavic Eastern European and I am white!!! And I am proud!!! And no one will put me or my race down! Because we white People are beautiful too!!!! We have our own culture as everyone else!!! Be proud and carry yourself high!!! Stand up and don't let others disrespect you because you are white! Be proud! Don't let anyone speak of white people badly to you! Because that's called stereotyping! White people are composed of so many beautiful cultures and history! Let's be proud! That does not mean that other cultures and races should not be proud of who they are! Message to white people! Be proud and make your children proud too!!!
Shut the fuck up.
+Thaddeus Tomczyk I can tell by your picture
I'm third generation slavic american on my mother's side !
Natureheaded Be proud!!!! 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!!
+Terrence Head be proud of who you are! There are people who will paint us in all different ways but don't let that put you down! 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.

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.

Your comment is racist in itself!

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,

@@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.

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.

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. I mean standing in front of a group of people teaching them about the wrong your people did to theirs is some eye opening shit.
Because fixing something created new problems , new injustices. All nations that has had this kind of problems has just ignore it.

It's within their rights to speak their minds, especially when they don't want to confront you
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.
I always find it ironic when people on social media claim to hate individualism but they have their entire life story in their bios.
people are both individual and part of collective groups
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).

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.

Great Comment.This is White-Guilt cultural programming. MTV and Buzzfeed are pumping out this racist content on a near daily basis.
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.".

BARILOCHE USHUAIA A R G E N T I N A
Those were some excellent points. There was one that I wish he would have addressed. What can you do if a group doesn't seem to want to assimilate and become a part of society, for example learn the language. Communication is key in working together (just look at the tower of Babel), but what can you do when even that is met with resistance?
I find it really offensive that people are telling me how I think, and how I act based on my skin color. I was born in America, I am American. I have pasty white skin, and it means nothing to me. Because it is not what defines me, nor should it be.

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.
why the dislikes?
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.
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.
I agree. She was raised by a good man, and is obviously well on her way to being a good woman. Hopefully she has kids and keeps the cycle going.
+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.

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

19:35 so dramatic lmao..omg i cant even take this video seriously
@Sundiata Keita i like everyone until someone gives me a reason not to.
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.
Christine Dayao Awesome comment
LOL RIIIIIIGHT!? They expect YOU to take it, but when it's on them THEY get upset. Pfft
Christine Dayao It is okay to do, because you look foreign, and since its not against the law, if you're offended you can just suck it up, because laws don't protect your feelings.
Christine Dayao I don't look foreign and some Mexican did this to me. My ancestors have been in this country hundreds of years longer than his, ironically. All of the people who assume I'm foreign appear to be foreign themselves.
***** I've had that said to me too. I guess they get caught off guard and surprised when we speak after they realize that they are wrong in assuming we don't know english... hmmm
this gave me a headache
lol, kids these days
+kkk shut up
Ijeoma Eke its true, millennials are making race a bigger issue than it was 70 years ago. Its simple really, act like a fool get treated like a fool.
says the guy with kkk for their name
In your eyes it's not a big deal when it really is though. Every race have people that act like fools. That's no excuse for people not being treated equally.
25:23. Not acknowledging race is completely different than not considering race an important factor when choosing friends and people to interact with. You cannot ignore race as it shapes our lives. However, not letting racial bias determine who you will interact with is a good thing. Those two things are NOT the same.
You can easily ignore race. It only shapes your life if you're a racist.
I watch this every time somebody says "Being fat is healthy and if you think not, you are fatphobic"

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.
This will totally help race relations in America ...
Not sure if this is sarcasm, but I feel it gets a major convo started and going.
@@i_am_gohan9232 Bullshit , the only thing it does is divide further by painting white people as horrible racists.
it's simple , birds of a feather flock together
"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!

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!
Maybe those are the real facts. Maybe they're not, but there are some schools that outright discriminate and don't hide it, such as Harvard which intentionally sets a quota regarding how many Asian students they will allow being admitted to the school.
This is my fourth time watching this video and the scene where the guy talked with his parents at the dinner table brought me to tears. I can tell he was not comfortable with speaking about the topic in front of his parents and he began to cry. Furthermore, he was so nervous when his parents came to his workshop. I’m glad they decided to hear him out and support him enough to go. He’s brave!

B Unit you and me both. I'm black, and the whole time I'm yelling at the screen all like COME ON WHITE PEOPLE STICK UP FOR YOURSELVES! You know damn well those white kids never did anything wrong to anyone and yet they still feel some sort of fabricated guilt. Like how you gonna make these white people feel bad about something they don't have a hand in causing?
This doc did a damn good job at breaking people apart instead of bringing people together, which is just a tool of manipulation that they use to control us through predictable reaction. I swear man, all the white friends I have never had any slave owners in their family history and none of my family came from slavery, and yet they feel weird about describing me as "black" when they're talking about me like they're extra afraid to offend me. Like bruh, I'm black it's cool 😂
Michael McMurray that's the problem with most documentaries. They don't seek the truth, and instead try to manipulate certain variables to justify the agenda of whoever's bankrolling the project.
All this kind of trash is the reason the country is so divided right now. I'm 33 and white and never had a racist thought with a colorblind mentality that I was raised with...now with MTV and SjWs and some black lives matter politics, I feel divided. I am now on the white team but I miss the American team where skin color was just a feature. But all this nonsense will unleash true racism because they are politicizing every part of life. It's so counter productive
B Unit So called Jews agenda against white people.
Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men and weak men create hard times. - G Michael Hopf

Gen Z and Alpha will fight back this tide.
@Human Centered Gen Zers are shown to be more conservative than Millenials... Look at the students in Colorado. Don't believe the media hype. More conservatives & traditionalists in this country than not.
Actually it's SMART men that create good times.
The middle east and Africa had plenty of strong men and life is still pretty shit over there.
What seperated Europe were the philosophers, artists, scientists and engineers that weren't found in less prosperous regions.
Being smart is the way forward. Obama was a smart president and an intelligent human being. Trump is a stupid president and a hysterical fool.
The problem with the alt-right is that they've forgotten what it means to be a westerner.
@@timetobecreative7343 And I'm talking about men who are strong in intellect.
And we all have different ideas about what a 'strong will' entails. Trump is full of pomp and bluster but is a pussy at the core...even though he may appear 'strong' to those who don't know any better.

"White is the default race"
The default race according to evolution is African... The more you know the better.
But Africa is not located in the United States. FYI it's quite the opposite.
The default race depends on what country you're in. In white majority countries, it's white. in India, it's Indian. In Zimbabwe, it's black. In Japan, it's Japanese.
Johnny The Fish get that science jumbo jumbo out of here, bc if it doesn't conform to my agenda then it's false & racist.

Me too until I became an adult and moved to a more diverse city. People started asking me questions like, “Do you speak English?” Or trying to speak Spanish (when they don’t) & they’re assuming that I do just by my looks.

We can when trace stops being a problem
Gravz I hope so America is going down hill
Race isn't the problem. It's the people that keep bringing up race that's that problem.
Gravz staying silent about racism isn't going to make it go away. Its just going to make it easier for whites to be racist since nobody is challenging them.
TheFallenAngelsDiary What do you mean? Is this a competition about who can be the most racist? All I'm saying is that I want people to look at skin color as if they're looking at eye color or hair color. And I know it's a shame that racism will never go away. 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. All this is doing is making racism worse.

Lol this has to be a parody or something , right?
Did you watch the whole thing
Nope , probably explains why I'm so confused lol
No parody; just dumb SJW identity politics propaganda politics. There are plenty of other points of views that are well informed and have gone through the numbers if you look around some; or you can ask.
I don't think you need to see this whole thing though, as someone who has suffered through its appalling logical pitfalls, I don't think you will gain much by watching it. That said, I suppose it would be an exposure to their point of view if you haven't already understood what the SJW people believe, why, or have heard them speak before. I recommend always seeing both points of view. Short of that, I can't think of any redeeming reason. I would probably look up the association fallacy though first, as it is the single biggest problem with all identity politics. The inability to distinguish one person or thing from a larger group or thing he is a part of, or associated with. And while there may be true things about said group, you cannot automatically apply generalities about said group to any single person without reason (like you are white, you are privileged).
Even if it were, who would commit to it for 40 minutes? Parody only works if it's clearly parody, and then only for a short time. Jokes have a life-span, and I can guarantee you it would be under 40 minutes.
It has to be. when that guy said "white is the default, it's the default race" that has to be scripted. There is no way someone who made it to adulthood can come up with such retarded comment. Whites are a minority in planet Earth. Not sure what planet these people comes from.
