(AfAm Group) Dear White People on Netflix

Has anyone else watched this? We have two episodes left in season 2 but -

I think in light of some of the conversations not just at DU - but around America - it really 'nails' a lot. From 'but what aboutism', to default settings, armed 'security guards', colorism, Hoteps , your one black friend, expectations of the elite, all lives matter as a reaction to real issues, etc. etc.

Anyone else watched this?

"Students of color navigate the daily slights and slippery politics of life at an Ivy League college that's not nearly as "post-racial" as it thinks."

I don't subscribe to Neflix so I haven't seen the show myself.

I thought it was both highly entertaining and right on point about many racial things. Satire of behavior on both sides.
