30 Issues | Facing Whiteness

Jason from Buffalo, New York, is one of the individuals in Whitney Dow's documentary series, "The Whiteness Project."

"It's the responsibility of white people to talk to white people," says Whitney Dow, filmmaker, educator, creator of The Whiteness Project. "I'm not qualified to have cross-race discussions, I'm qualified to talk to my own community."

Dow talks about his work exploring the attitudes of people who identify as white as the U.S. approaches a non-white majority. He shares what he heard from blue-collar residents of Buffalo, New York and millennials in Dallas, Texas.
