Jose Antonio Vargas is making some white people uncomfortable with his new MTV documentary — and they've seen only a minute of it.
The documentary, called "White People," doesn't premiere until July 22, but a trailer for it — which had nearly 2 million views on YouTube as of Wednesday — has drawn fire from the right, especially over a teaser line that indicates the program will deal with "white privilege."
That's a hot-button issue with some conservative commentators, who say that white privilege — the belief that whites receive societal benefits because of their skin color — is a means for making whites feel shame and guilt over discrimination from generations ago.
