MTV campaign satirizes white privilege

MTV tries to expose society’s continuing white privilege in a new satirical promotion. The campaign poses as a business called “White Squad,” in which clients of color receive “the social and institutional benefits previously only available to white people.”

According to the “White Squad” website, white privileges include better benefits, salary, housing, personal security, physical health, education, job security, career growth, legal outcomes, financial situation, media representation, privacy and social status.
