Question 1

The documentary explores the prominence of racism throughout the American society through looking at the prism of white privilege. According to the author being white means that one is entitled to other benefits that are not accessible to people of color and minority groups. The society has over time developed notions and perceptions that create ethnic and racial divisions among the members of the public. This happens despite the proclamation that suggests that race is meaningless.
