Dear White People, based on Justin Simien's 2014 satirical sprint through the identity obstacle course of higher education, survives the transition from film intact and in some ways better.
April 27, 2017
What remains is Simien's deft balance of satire and seriousness in exploring the tensions between and among students of various ethnic backgrounds.

Dear White People is timely and stylish and a little strange, an incisive portrait of student activism and black identity. It isn't actually a novel, so I can't say that I couldn't put it down. But I did watch it all in one sitting. It's that good.
April 27, 2017
In a world desperate to label people, it's a reminder that individuals aren't quantifiable.

As quick to back up its arguments as it is to acknowledge differing opinions, [DWP] always feels like a personal story first and intelligent satire second... I've spent three hours at Winchester. And I only want more.
April 27, 2017
It doesn't just have a setting and a story, it has a philosophy and a vision of life. This is so rare in any art form that the show's less-than-subtle aspects (and there are many) feel like features rather than bugs.
April 27, 2017
Brightly written, brilliantly wrought, and bitingly smart.
April 28, 2017
A tale of collegiate life that filters typical campus concerns (sex, parties, academic pressure, etc.) through the lens of social justice.
April 27, 2017
Dear White People is a pop culture-savvy, sometimes explicit, always entertaining look at that process. It's the perfect series for young people negotiating a world where struggles over identity grow more complex every day.
April 27, 2017
Dear White People balances satirical irony and deep-seated rage to tell its richly entertaining, wildly funny yet deadly serious character-driven story of identity politics: racial, sexual, human.
