I want to share a trailer for a new Netflix original show that looks awesome and relates to the themes of the class. The first 10 episodes come out on April 28 and the Hollywood Reporter describes it as, "Lionsgate's Dear White People follows a group of Winchester University students of color as they navigate a diverse landscape of social injustice, cultural bias, political correctness (or lack thereof) and sometimes misguided activism in the millennial age. Set against the backdrop of a predominantly white Ivy League university, where racial tensions bubble just below the surface, Dear White People is described as being a hilarious send-up of "post-racial" America that weaves together the universal story of finding one's own identity and forging a wholly unique path."
The main character is a woman of color and the show definitely deals with issues related to feminism, racism, and the political tensions present on even the most liberal college campuses today. I can't wait to watch! Link to the trailer. The show has already received tons of backlash even though it hasn't come out yet, and the trailer on Youtube elicited a lot of negative reactions with people furious over the "politically correct" themes.
