MTV Decoded has released a brilliant satire called “White Squad,” a fake company designed to allow minorities to hire their very own white person so that they can use that whiteness to their advantage.
“Is your skin color holding you back? Are you tired of systemic prejudice ruining your day?” asks the narrator, who then offers “professional white advantage services” to serve as stand-ins for members of a minority.
From hailing cabs to getting a lawyer, the “White Squad” uses their white privilege to get their clients the best whiteness can buy.
The testimonials and the commercial are so well done, you almost forget this isn’t a real company. But what’s not satire is the situation the “White Squad” is exposing: the constant discrimination facing people of color.
