It might not have resonated as loudly for non-U.S. viewers, due to a different cultural climate within North America.

Specifically, Tiff being African-American; there comes with that hyphenated combo several stereotypes that aren't as prevalent with regards to black English people.

For instance, the unspoken fear that seemed to express anxieties regarding the possibility of Tiff turning "ghetto" and beating the sh*t out of someone.



Tiff doesn't take sh*t, but she showed no sign of getting physical.

I mean, think about it. An African-American girl from Utica is yelling, and everyone is suddenly expressing concerns for physical safety?

I'm not saying that they sat around and spouted off the "n-word," or that they even referred to her as "ghetto," or anything like that.

Rather, I'm pointing out the context of what they said and how the words were pretty racially packed.
