For a part of public - a warning. For other - a parody. Or example of dark humor. Or verdict about contemporary school. In fact, a story about political correctness . Its demons. Its sins. Its configuration under the pressure of media. All - so simple. And creepy. The temptation of the left to create a happy society. New directions in education. The desire to propose equality of chances. And the little hell who has as root the relativation. The student first ! That could be one of inspired sketches about near future.
I think reviewers here (and many on YouTube) totally fail to understand Neel's sharp and witty short.
First, it's not meant to be "realistic", any more than 1984 or The Hunger Games are meant to be "realistic". It's a dystopian satire. Good satires make fun of extreme versions of real-world ideas and institutions. In fact, the 1+1=2 math problem is an obvious reference to Orwell.
Second, since he's attacking the extremes of identity politics today, not movements for racial and sexual equality and civil rights from the 1960s and 1970s, he would NOT be kicked out of Australia if political correctness ended. Comparing civil rights to political correctness is like comparing house cats to tigers: one is nice (though it has claws and meows a lot), one is a ferocious and dangerous beast. In fact, the tendencies that the video satirizes are potentially totalitarian in themselves.
A must viewing for college and university students across the Western world. It's funny that this video has only attracted three comments on IMDb, two of them in incomplete sentences and full of language errors: so much for clear, rational debate.

This is a total distortion of equal rights movement. It portraits the leftists to be fascist but in fact in Charlottesville it was the white supremacists who killed.
"Political correctness" can be inconvenient at times, but that is the price we must pay to build a better tomorrow. What if we just give up the notion of "political correctness"? Neel Kolhatkar, you will be driven outside of Australia and regret about what the film you have directed.

It's a very compelling multilayered visual essay on the excesses of the modern left's dominion of the education space.
The humor is particularly dark as it rests on the people watching to cringe on the most relevant SJW things that have happened in their life that correlate in the video. Were you ever accused of sexual harassment in the office for rejecting someone's sexual overtures?
The situation rests on the fringes of the obscene hypocrisy of affirmative action and how it devalues one's achievement due educational handouts. Would you care to trust your open heart surgery to an affirmative action Doctor surgeon and risk greater chance of death?
Hollowing out the prospective student's moral compass and judgement to make the word 'justice' a mockery in of itself for being applied to insensate items of insignificance,
This is a must watch for all to watch out for the dystopian future waiting to happen which is being zealously ushered in by the mechavillian to sate their nihilistic boredom. Let this be a warning to all to not cede an inch where a mile is sought or the malevolent will be out for our 'pound of flesh'.
The first time I watched it, I didn't know how to feel. I thought, "Isn't this video attacking what we are fighting for nowadays?" It seemed to be making fun of equality, racism, and other political issues.
But no. I watched it again now, and all I could do is appreciate the beauty of this film. I hope everyone will understand the deep meaning of this film.
