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

Kelly Lawler | USA TODAY

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."
