The questions everyone is thinking, but no one is asking!

Race relations can be a heavy issue, but this show is looking on the lighter side. Mike Epps, Jackie Guerra, Michelle Collins and Dat Fan take the stage with Tyra to address racial stereotypes. Hilarity ensues as the panel ponders things like why black people are so loud in a movie theater, and why white people love to adopt so many foreign babies.

Everyone is right about that there is no Native Americans on any talk shows...including Dr. Phil. I watched his show a couple days ago and he mentioned every race out there but Native Americans. That upsets me TONS!!! And NO, Mexicans and Latinos are not in the Native American category. I am what Obama calls a "Mutt"...I have French, Mohawk ( which is native), Dutch, Scotish, and myabe a little bit of English...not too sure about the English part. The thing that bothers me the most about racism or bias people is that...I am too white to be recognized as a Native American (I'm from Canada) and I've got native in me, so that's one of the reasons why I can't get a job. I embrace my Native side. I am proud to have that bloodline in me. The stereotypes I find a lot be said about Native Americans are: -don't have any education -are criminals -are very poor -men are are drunks -women run around on their men -Natives will scalp whit people if given the chance -say "eh" a lot -say "how" a lot

Tyra, I LOVE YOU, LOVE your show,but... not sure I liked Race in your Face. I felt that the stereotypes discussed will continue to be perpetuated because there was no discussion on WHY these stereotypes exist. Race is a socially constructed term that benefits those in power. Even though biologically there is no such thing as RACE, it is very real when I'm being told to go back to Mexico because I "might be contagious with the Swine Flu!" I would have liked to have seen you go deeper into the issues. Being placed into social categories obviously benefits someone...who??? I don't want your audience to seriously think that little Mexican girls, who wear the big, puffy dresses to the laundromat or the store, wear them because they're "prepared" to go to some fiesta at any moment!

Tyra . I'd LOVE to see some Polynesians on the show so we can show the love of the south pacific because we're one of the cultures that never come upon the race issues & we being thick as want to just explore and kinda get it out there . im Tongan & have faced different race situtations and people dont understand. we'd LOVE it though ;esspecially with the crisis in the South Pacific. Much Alohas (:

If American inflation and dollar depreciation contin- ues, they will soon shift to the competing devaluation, exchange controls, currency blocs, and economic warfare of the 1930s. ,

Unless I missed it, not once did you say "African-American." You said "Black" which makes more sence to me. African-American is neither a race nor a nationality. It's like saying anyone of British, French, Spanish, German, Italian, or Greek heritage is "European-American." There are whites being born in Africa now, are they A-A also? Are blacks from Jamaica A-A also? Who invented the term "African-American" anyway?

Hey Tyra, I just saw an article on Yahoo!news about model Lara Stone in BLACKFACE in French Vogue!!! I thought this was completely insensitive and ignorant!!! Everybody wants black people to, "Get over it." We are past it but this, completely wrong, I hope to see you voice your opinion soon.

This was overall a great show! But I agree with Sarah, who wrote before me.. You should of had Native American's on here. After all, we were in America first! :) Oh and also Sarah, the Native kids who said they got big checks when they turned 18 and then one every year, well they were probably Eastern Band Cherokee. They are lucky and get checks like that, from their tribe's casino.. I'm Cherokee from Oklahoma and unfortunately i don't get any checks lol.
