Saw "Dear White People" over the weekend. Just released but was a hit at Sundance. I thought it was well done and worth seeing but I am always a fan of humor used to discuss difficult or sensitive issues that people may want to shy away from. It reminded me a bit of Spike Lee's "School Daze" but wasn't as hard edged. It discussed standard racial stereotypes but avoided some of the microaggression often found in daily living. See it with friends and plan to have dinner/coffee afterwards as it brings up some interesting discussion points.
