Summary

Set against the backdrop of a predominantly white Ivy League university, this satirical series--which picks up where the acclaimed 2014 film by the same name left off--follows a group of students of color as they try to navigate a diverse landscape of social injustice, cultural bias, political correctness (or lack thereof), and activism in the millennial age. Through its absurdist lens, "Dear white people" leads with laughter as it utilizes biting irony, self-deprication, and sometime brutal honesty to hold a mirror up to the issues plaguing society today.
