Originally posted by seanD View PostWho runs MTV? White CEOs. I can't really take your outrage against it seriously when it's white people not just underscoring it but actually screaming the loudest about white privilege. I see it all the time when I watch shows like TYT and msnbc. It's happening on both a corporate level and on a political minion level. Why do you suppose white people are hanging their own noose? Is it just corporate greed intent on profiting off a popular meme or something else more sinister?

He wrote an article about it for The New York Times Magazine. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/26/ma...pagewanted=all
Apparently he only discovered that he was an undocumented immigrant (a term I'm starting to prefer to 'illegal immigrant') when he was 16.
I'm curious what seer, and others would have had him do. That being said he doesn't in anyway match any stereotype, that I have no doubt that InfoWars is appealing to, regarding illegal immigrants. He's smart, well-educated, creative, hard working and successful.

I'm much more sympathetic than most on here. Yes, illegal immigration is a clear breaking of the law, but there are plenty of people who were illegally brought over as small children and didn't decide to break the law on their own.

The surprise is seer is so deep in wacko land that he doesn't realize that linking to crazytown is a bad idea

Originally posted by Leonhard View PostI'm surprised you watch Infowars. Its pretty much off-the-wall, 'the government are preparing prison camps for US citizens', 'flouride is a conspiracy, meant to destroy mental health', '9/11 was an inside job' kind of nonsense.
I saw the trailer, but I didn't read the article. It looks like an MTV documentary about white racial issues... not sure what the problem is.

Which is kinda dubious, he was born in the Philipines and was raised in the US from the age of twelve. What was he supposed to do? Call for emmancipation from his parents, and ask the US government to deport him?
A little fact checking wouldn't hurt you seer.

Will these young white people learn from their experiences during filming? Vargas will force them “to internalize what they’ve done in America.”
What did they do in America?
