We haven’t bothered reading Hillary Clinton’s “Hard Choices,” but we think know what she was talking about. “Sharknado 3” premieres tonight on Syfy at 8 p.m., but it won’t be over in time for us to catch the debut of Jose Antonio Vargas’ “White People” on MTV at 9 p.m.
At Twitchy reported, “White People” is being promoted by an #AskJose Twitter Q&A during which Vargas says he was just trying to create “a space where white Millennials can talk about their race and identity. No judgment” — right before Vargas judged Louisiana-born Gov. Bobby Jindal as “case in point” of a recent immigrant “whitewashing” himself. OK, so it’s that kind of judgment-free space.

That’s not a question, but it’s making “Sharknado 3” look pretty tempting.
The last we saw Vargas, he was looking pretty uncomfortable himself as the moderator of a Netroots Nation panel featuring presidential candidates Martin O’Malley and Bernie Sanders. Sanders threatened to walk out after screaming matches broke out in the audience and Vargas lost control of the stage, surrendering the microphone to a number of #BlackLivesMatter protesters.

Why should you get benefits that people who wait to legally immigrate don't?

Was it hard for you to get a Picture ID? Hillary says y'all aren't smart enough to do it. #AskJose #WhitePeople

#AskJose Obama said illegal immigrants "pick our fruit & make our beds". Should he have included SSN theft as well? pic.twitter.com/sfTqIlc2yQ

My Guatemalan friend says he is treated better by the whites than the Mexicans. Why is that? #AskJose #WhitePeople

Statistically Asian-American income exceeds #WhitePeople income does your documentary address this when discussing privilege in US? #AskJose

If someone makes documentary on a generalized assumption about a whole group based on their race, how is that not remotely racist? #AskJose

@joseiswriting #AskJose Does any country allow more Legal Immigration than the USA? If no why should we allow illegal Immigration?

@joseiswriting Why do you want to be a citizen of this country when you obviously have no respect for our laws and customs? #AskJose

If #WhitePeople are so privilege n America, explain you getting a doc on #MTV and moderating Netroots while being "undocumented" #AskJose

One final question: Is “Sharknado 3” any good? We’ve heard it’s just OK.
Please watch the TV special before you judge it.
