Dear White People. Can the title alone for a Netflix series be considered offensive?

Cast members John Patrick Amedori, Ashley Blaine Featherson, Logan Browning and Marque Richardson share their thoughts on the responses they received after the show’s first season PLUS give us a preview of what’s to come in season 2!

The series’ synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of a predominantly white Ivy League university where racial tensions bubble just below the surface, Dear White People is a send-up of the now post “post-racial” America that weaves together a universal story of finding one’s own identity and forging a wholly unique path. The satirical series — based on the acclaimed 2014 film by the same name — continues to follow a group of Winchester University students of color as they navigate a diverse landscape of social injustice, cultural bias, political correctness (or lack thereof) and activism in the millennial age. Through an absurdist lens, Dear White People utilizes biting irony, self-deprecation and sometimes brutal honesty to hold up a mirror to the issues plaguing society today, all the while leading with laughter.

Dear White People is available for streaming on May 4th. Check out the full interview with the cast below!
