In the West today, most white people won’t have thought much about their racial identity. In fact, if you are identified as white, you might even feel uncomfortable describing yourself as 'white'. Discussing whiteness is in fact taboo. Academic and documentary maker, Myriam François, guides us through how to consider what whiteness means to you and how you notice your whiteness day to day.
