“I’m selling my antidepressants!”
In this video, comedian Jessie Kahnweiler and co-producer Samson Crouppen test the limits to see whether or not Jessie's self-proclaimed "white privilege" could prevent her from getting arrested.
Kahnweiler told BuzzFeed they made the video "to explore and expose my own white privilege."
She continued, "I found myself, as a white Jewy liberal, pretending like all the horrific stuff that's happening is none of my business. But hating racism on Facebook isn't enough. It's not an excuse to sit on my ass."

She kicked off the video by asking random people on Los Angeles streets about white privilege. She asked this guy, "As a white woman, do you think I can get away with more stuff?"

Upon further clarifying with the officer, he told her that he didn't believe in it.
