Discomfort has a name, and it’s MTV’s White People.
The network is serious about its newest documentary from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, who won the prize for covering the Virginia Tech shootings in 2007. White People tackles the hot topic conversation of white privilege head-on in a special presentation borne out of MTV’s Emmy-winning Look Different campaign.
The doc premieres on July 22 on MTV and follows five young white people from around the country, exploring their notions of racial identity in modern America.

I haven't watched the trailer yet, but if it's addressing and tackling white privilege then I applaud MTV for producing this because their demographic is one that really needs to see it tbh.

I am white but I am interested in seeing this. I cannot tell what it is like to be any other way then I am born obviously which is why it would be a good thing for everyone to see it and create a better understanding.
