White People Doc Explores White Privilege For MTV

MTV attempted to start a discussion about race in America on Wednesday night with the premiere of their newest documentary. White People answers the question: What does it mean to be young and white?

In the film, journalist and immigration activist Vargas travels around the United States and attempts to have conversations about whiteness and race with young adults – mostly white, but not all. “We talk about race a lot in this country. But we don’t include you in the conversation,” Vargas tells crowds of young white people at the beginning of the film.
