Filmmaker Whitney Dow has blue eyes, wears round glasses and is in his mid-fifties. He fits the bill for a "cliché-looking northeastern white guy." And he finds there's some discomfort in that.
"How I actually live my life and the experiences I've had are so different than how people perceive me," Dow said.
This sentiment is echoed by some of the subjects in Dow's latest installment of the Whiteness Project, a video series designed to get white people to think about their own race.
Released online on Wednesday, "Intersection of I" comprises a series of video interviews filmed in the summer of 2015 in Dallas, Texas. The interviewees differ in gender identification and sexual orientation and have varying socioeconomic statuses and religious affiliations. Yet they all share at least two common bonds: they are millennials, ages 15-27, and they identify as white or partially white.
"I see pieces of myself in almost everybody that I interview," Dow said, citing Wade, a millennial in his early twenties, as an example.
Wade, who has long dreadlocks, a pierced bottom lip and plugs in his ears, said he does not want to be lumped in with some of the white people he encounters where he works who "spout off nonsense." It's one reason he likes the way he looks. He said it provides some separation.
"I'm not necessarily happy that I'm white because of all the extra stuff that came with it," Wade said in his interview. "Because of the way our race has acted throughout the course of history. Like, they've done the evil, most messed-up things I've ever seen."

“Because of the way our race has acted throughout the course of history. Like, they’ve done the evil, most messed-up things I’ve ever seen.”...
This article is awful.
This kid is a punk but I bet he doesn’t live in a project or on a reservation so STFU!!!
At any point in it do they point out that America has become the only place on earth where white mortality rates have worsened rather than improved?
Race is such a stupid topic. People who make a big deal out of it are just destructive.
Now, culture is a much better point of discussion. And, clearly, the Christian, capitalist culture of western civilization that came out of Europe is the culture which leads to personal and societal success. That’s been verified across the centuries.
And some people turn their back on it. Because they are stupid. And destructive.
It is ridiculous to assume similar melanin makes people similar in any other way. As a Norwegian Viking Princess the person I would least like to be in the world is a Swede. All other cultures have some redeeming qualities...

Japanese, North Koreans, North Vietnamese (all three did the SICKEST things during those wars (Japanese dissected people alive and switched arms on people just for fun), araba muslims who SLAUGHTERED their way to Spain (hence the crusades, to fight them out of Europe), China’s 10s of millions dead under Mao.
Millions more under Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Millions under Idi Amin in Africa.
Africans sold other Africans into slavery.
Aztecs sacrificed 20,000 a year by beheading to please the gods.
Can whites be brutal? hell yeah!!!! So can every other group.
If ya feel that bad, move into a project and help out their neighborhood.
Or move onto a reservation and help Indians.
I can respect that, if you’re willing to give up your life for your belief.
otherwise you LIVE on the land that Indians were likely killed on. You live in an economy that was largely boosted with the crops from slavery, and if your guilt bothers you that much, move the #### away
and try to find a piece of land that HASN’T been conquered one time or another
Race is used by non-whites to address inferiority complexes in non-whites (Asians excluded). If there is no racist boogeyman, they have to reflect on their own shortcomings - and that “personal responsibility” theme has been completely discarded.
Today expecting personal responsibility from blacks is tantamount to calling them “n%&*#@”...
Brainwashed zombies, self-hating whites. Yes, you can brainwash a culture into desiring to commit auto-genocide, witness Sweden and most of Western Europe.
That makes us even then, I damn sure do not want to be lumped in with him.
Does anyone remember the “Berserker” stories by Fred Saberhagen?
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/582675.Berserker
They were about a series of wars between machines programmed to wipe out life (sometimes with the help of “goodlife” people) and men who wanted to survive.
This guy, whose only goal is to be a loser, would fit right in with those stories.
yep.
should be forced to drive a cab in the projects for a month.
he’s p... his pants.
Yes, it tells sane people and future employers to keep their distance from this clown.
My response would go something like the column in the link below.

As long as there are government schools there will be an unending supply of morons who’ll gobble up every hack of phlegm from folks such as this Whitney Dow clown.
Dollars to donuts this pasty, metro-sexual excuse of a “man” has spent his ENTIRE life in government “education”.
Talk about stuck bits in this bozo’s cerebral instruction register!
Garbage in, garbage out.
Sheesh, imagine how much worse the life of a homeless person, begging on the streets, would be if not for the fact said desperate person was white.
This is all becoming mainstream. I wonder if whites realize where this ultimately goes?
Spot on.
I was told from a very early age there’s coming a time when the most hated person in America will be white males from the south.
Seems we’re going to have to be the canary in the mine for other white males (if they haven’t been too feminized by then (which is MORE likely than not))
