I thought that was quite calculated and vicious on Eureka's part. She's redeemed herself though by teaming up with Kameron and Monet when no one else would, that really helped my perception of her.

What a load of BS. Vixen started that with taking a compliment the wrong way, and has been doing more than enough to propagate the "black girl = confrontational and aggressive" trope whether that's right or wrong. She's been spoiling for drama and I for one am not complaining, but I'm also not going to start accusing every single white girl who has an argument with her of playing race games.

I just watched it again to make sure I remembered it right and I did. Vixen didn't like the crafty comment but that's not what started the drama, it was Eureka going in calling her negative and then going 'I'M TIRED OF THIS, CAN I GO SMOKE?' when Vixen was talking. Eureka was looking for a reaction there and she said as much later on when she said she was testing Vixen.

I don't think she was playing race games but I think she was playing on Vixen's insecurities to try to make her look bad.
