Yup, the creator is from NYC and I remember they had a casting call for hotep men and the location was NYC, so yeah.
"I find it funny they primarily put mostly Africans on the station when they're nowhere as numerous as Caribeans here and are mostly concentrated to Harlem and the Bronx where you'll find West Indians everywhere"
Exactly.
The creator is African so I'm guessing she's just heavily heavily biased in seeking out people similar to her. Because you can pick out a Caribbean way easier than an African. The African immigrant presence in America is a very recent presence.
They didn't even have a CARIBBEAN panel like everyone else had theirs, they just went
with the "collective".
HoW are you going to call it "- Africans vs AA's vs West Indians" with no West Indians in it?
They can't find any fukking Caribbeans in NEW YORK?!
Motherfukkers have Nigerians and Ghanians on deck, though.
All the West Indians would have did was dikkride the African talking points

I don't think so. Caribbeans are more nuanced than you think.

Just to chime in, the casting was really hard for this episode... we sent out a casting call on Twitter for BAs as in descendants of American chattel slavery and had first generation children of African immigrants replying... same for the West Indian panel, did a call for WI and had a lot of ppl removed from the culture but still considered themselves WI replying. And it was very difficult to tell ppl no that's not what we mean because then they hit the

Carl won't even trying to hide his shyt. That motherfukka was there solely for fukkery and controversy.
Every episode lol
I watch them but I don't like there format. It's always 4 or 3 African against one AA. Plus they have to many transplants. They should have a Inglewood Nigerian and AA from SC.

If you grew up here, then you would already know we're quite heavy in Harlem and the Bronx(where i grew up). I know a few out in Queens too from my roommate. Now BK, i can't say cause I don't go there like that.
The thing about us Africans is that we usually keep mostly to ourselves.
