This looks like a 'Creepy Big White People' skit to complement George Lopez's 'Creepy Little White Girl.' This photo shows a frame from the Unfair Campaign the University of Minnesota has launched based on a number of unfair claims. (Photo: Screen snip from Unfair vid.)The University of Minnesota-Duluth has launched an ad campaign about what the political class calls “white privilege.” The campaign could easily be tweaked for Saturday Night Live—it’s that silly.
Every claim the campaign makes is based on urban legends.
White people give their take on their privilege—being able to walk around a department store without being followed, drive a car in any neighborhood without being perceived as being in the wrong place and turn on the TV and see people of their ethnic and racial background represented.
Like that.
