A woman wanted to put her “white privilege” to the test. She tried to sell drugs to a few cops and of course, she didn’t get in any trouble whatsoever.
Here are the details via Huffington Post:
Comedian Jessie Kahnweiler wanted to know if she would get preferential treatment from the police simply for being a white woman. The results are hilarious — and frightening.
Kahnweiler pretty brilliantly shows how a funny, bubbly white girl can get away with a lot more things around police than, say, a black or hispanic person might be able to.
In one particularly crazy moment, Kahnweiler tries to sell two officers her leftover depression medication. They tell her she’d be committing a crime, and then let her go on her merry way when she apologizes and claims ignorance.
Jokes aside, this video just further proves that race matters. I highly doubt that anyone would believe that if a minority would’ve done the exact same thing she did, their outcome would’ve been the same. Just another slap in the face to being a minority in America.
