"White Girls Who Date Black Guys Are Sluts" And Other Ridiculous Stereotypes

Yesterday’s Tyra dealt with racial racist stereotypes. A focus group made up of different ethnicities shared their—at times horrifying—views. One white college student, Christian, is an unconscionable asshole. Tyra put him in his place.

Ralph, a black man, is Christian’s roommate at college. He wrote to Tyra to tell her about this guy’s behavior, which includes his sweeping negative generalizations about black people (they’re all drug-dealing, violent thieves on welfare), constant derogatory remarks and verbal harassment, which includes Christian calling Ralph the N-word.

Props to Tyra, though, because she came back at that guy in the weirdest, most inventive way, when she told him that when she closes her eyes, he “sounds black” to her, because of the tone of his voice. Naturally, he took this as an insult.
