Summary

Ben has seen one too many creators pretending to be a different race online?!! Pop culture has a long history of stealing from black culture from language to fashion to everything in-between. On the extreme end of this, there are people who outwardly claim to be black when they are from entirely different ethnic groups. This week Ben dives into a few case studies of this phenomenon and theorizes the psychology behind what makes people black wash themselves.
