PLEASE PEOPLE!!!
Traci is undoubtedly an airhead and ditz but she did NOT start the outburst.
She was genuinely shocked (yes, I said she's an airhead) by this new idea that being black and American might put her at a disadvantage. Her childlike reaction was to air this with the rest of the house.
Faria's point wasn't unreasonable - being black never usually wins votes on these things - its always despite being black that people are liked and as soon as they put a foot wrong they are annihilated- unlike a character like PRESTON where everybody will run to make excuses for any mistake he makes.
The fact that the very mention of the subject causes such a vitriolic response in itself speaks volumes.
Don't scapegoat Traci - she's too easy a target!
