What is it with all the black chicks on the various seasons of the Real World? I have seen every season of the Real Wordl except for one or two and invariably if there is a black girl on the show she always has some sort of a chip on her shoulder like the rest of the cast owes her something. They always end up butting heads with the white guys on the show. They also tend to act like they are some sort of leader of a group of people that doesn’t need to be lead. Most of this seems to come out when they get their “jobs”. God forbid anyone argue with whoever is the black chick on the show or all hell will, and has, break loose. The black girls I have dated have never acted like these chicks on RW. Am I imagining things here or is this a trend? ---

The other trend is that the slut of the season is always a white girl, but that is un related to this thread. ---

I don’t watch those programs so I’m not really sure if there’s anything to them. Marc ---

I don’t know what the deal is really. It’s like they are cast to fill a role or something. There was only one black guy on RW that I remember being an asshat. It was that one huge guy on the last season that had a bald head. The one where they had a cable access show. That dude was massive, but a jackass as well. The dude on the new season is huge too, but he seems real chill and cool. The dude on this last season of Road Rules rubbed me wrong at first, but after a while he grew on me. The white dudes are apparently all supposed to be goobers, ala Frank from the new season. ---

The only black chicks that I found annoying were Coral and Nicole from the second NYC series. They were pretty cruel to Rachel and Malik.
