'SNL's Sasheer Zamata parodies white privilege in this hilarious ACLU video

Sasheer Zamata, SNL cast member and newly minted ACLU celebrity ambassador, would like you to talk to your friends about privilege.

In a video for the organization, Zamata is walking around with a white male friend who maybe isn't quite as aware of his privilege as she is. In the course of the video she's cat-called and stopped-and-frisked, while her friend literally gets the key to the city for calling himself a feminist. It's hilarious ... and a little too real.

Zamata also penned an essay on the subject for the ACLU. She wrote:

"Speaking of privilege, I’m speaking up today to talk about the 'P' word.

You see, some of us have more of it than others due to a bunch of factors we can’t control. It’s a secret weapon that helps us even when we don’t know it, makes structural discrimination difficult to see, and disproportionately affects women."
