“Dear white people: Here’s a list of acceptable Halloween costumes,” White says on her radio show in the series’ trailer. “Pirate, slutty nurse, any of our first 43 presidents.”
“Top of the list of unacceptable costumes: Me,” she adds, as images of white people in black face flash across the screen.
Justin Simien, who wrote and directed the film, produced the ten-episode, half-hour series for Netflix and reportedly directed the first episode. The film was a smash hit at the Sundance Film Festival in 2014, where it won the special jury award for breakthrough talent.
The series also stars Antionette Robertson, John Patrick Amedori, Wyatt Nash, Marque Richardson and Jeremy Tardy, while Brandon P Bell reprises his role as Troy Fairbanks from the film.
Dear White People premieres April 28 on Netflix.
