SHORTS AND TO THE POINT: Will Robbins’s stark short MINORITY delivers a nightmare scenario for white racists that is all too familiar to black people

By John Wildman 8 years ago

MINORITY lands us in a “reverse world” scenario where a white man in a hoodie falls under suspicion of a black convenience store clerk because he is “shopping while being white.” Countless Facebook political debates have posed this scenario to racists and racist-apologists since Trump’s political ascension in 2016 (and, frankly, long before), but Robbins astutely keeps his film as basic and direct as it gets.
