Critical reviews?

I didn't find any critical reviews of this. Post links if you see them.

Best I found was this article by Milo the poofter on Identity Politics. Minority Wars: Why The Next Ten Years Will Set Everyone Against Everyone http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/23/minority-wars-why-the-next-ten-years-will-set-everyone-against-everyone/

Identity politics is universally attractive because it enables failures and weaknesses to be spun as the products of oppression and historical injustice. But for legacy castes, it can be humiliating and deeply unfair. Take MTV’s White People, for instance: an hour of television designed to produce discomfort in those with the wrong skin colour.

Safe to say, it’ll be a while before we see Black People on our screens.

Jose goes above and beyond to incorporate himself into the shoot. He seems like an egomaniacal, pity seeking hypocrite. Why? Well, Jose, himself, who wants to tell us how bad it is in America for minorities and those of a different skin color, has led a somewhat charmed life. Despite being unwhite in America, Jose managed to wiggle his way into an internship at the Mountain View Voice, before working for the San Francisco Chronicle. He, himself, obtained a private scholarship. Obviously, he was unable to get financial aid, because he is “illegal”.

Finally, after years of our complaining that America’s “conversation about race” is actually a scripted monologue aimed at the White race, MTV roped a gaggle of clueless and brainwashed White teens and young adults into a carefully framed and tightly edited trap with the promise that they’ll get to be included in America’s conversation about race.
