Once a troll,France always a troll.
Alt-right Twitter user Baked Alaska -- the same person who last year started an unsuccessful Starbucks boycott -- is calling on people to cancel their Netflix subscriptions because of the streaming service's new show Dear White People. But his boycott has taken an unexpected turn: an attack on his own email inbox.
Netflix on Wednesday released a new teaser for the series, based on a 2014 film about a group of black students on a fictional, predominately white college campus.
