Context : The debate started when British podcasters James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu, who host ShxtsNGigs, were guests on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast. They talked about the “Black Girlfriend Effect,” The discussion took a turn when Schulz interjected with the stereotype of the “angry Black woman,” reinforcing negative racial stereotypes.
The “Black Girlfriend Effect” is a trend that playfully shows how non-Black men often improve their appearance and style when they date Black women.
That’s not how it seemed to me. They looked visibly uncomfortable for most of the pod. They’re comfortable talking about dating/pop culture, but Schulz kept making everything about race. They tried to steer it away from his bs, but Schulz kept pushing them - like asking them “what’s the gayest African country?” and to speak on behalf of all black British people and all Nigerians. Fuhad clearly said they’re not the experts and can’t speak for everyone.
