Don't let nobody steal your joy.

I need to break them up.

You a pirate, Pare. We kill pirates!

I want you to come back to Bali, be my wife again.

- Hey. - [guest] Hi, Rainey.

What's that for?

In this house, Trish is surrounded by white people

because of Miles and me.

So for the holidays, we decided to cap

the amount of white people allowed at Meatfest.

This year, we're down to six.

I gotta do more to reduce the white footprint.

You do know you're white.

I already clicked one for me.

You better click one for Darrell.

He's coming, right?

Yeah, but he's not white.

He's Chilean-something.

I'm not dating another white guy,

and I'm not going double white in this neighbourhood.

He looks white to me.

Why do you think I call him White Darrell?

'Cause he's not Black.

I am not that reductive.

Wait, wait, Rainey, you're dating someone new

and keeping it a secret from us?

I've had, like, two dates with the guy.

Well, if he looks white, he reaps all the benefits

of being white, so guess what.

He's white.

And that's a fair point.

He's not white like me-white.

Well, show us a picture.

I can't because my phone is in the Be Present basket.

No phones till after dinner.

Did y'all drop your phones in that basket?

- Oh, yeah, yeah. - All right, keep it simple.

Does he go to Blondie's or Fat Slice for pizza?

And don't think. Just answer.

- I think Fat Slice. - He's Black.

No, he's just not Blondie's white.

And Asians go to Blondie's.

Don't be grouping us with white people.

Yellow Peril supports Black Power.

Well, bring the Asians to Fat Slice.

No, go to Graffiti Pizza. A Black woman owns that.

[Marty] Don't be grouping all us Asians together.
