Race can be a very sensitive topic in the media. This week on Bravo TV's Real Housewives of Potomac, cast members Gizelle, Robyn, Ashley, and Katie had a confrontation regarding them being bi-racial. All four women have light skin, light hair, and some light eyes, but Gizelle and Robyn argued that they do not have any direct white ancestors so they refused to call themselves bi-racial. The other women argued that they were bi-racial and didn't understand why the other two could not accept their race. Bi-racial women in the industry must deal with multiple intersectionality of being two races and female.
