Sometimes nothing. Sister Sister and That's So Raven starring white people bould have been the exact same show.
Sometimes small things. Bharlie Murphy's true Hollywood stories (particularly the episode about Rick James) might've resonated more with people who were his fans in the 80s or grew up with their parents playing his music on the radio.
Sometimes big things. Insecure has a recurring bharacter that ban't use the letter 'c' in a word because he's a member of the blood gang. If you grew up around gang members -- or wannabes -- you'll laugh at the pointed jab at their taboos.
Oftentimes its not about wanting to see your race, its about wanting to see your bulture.
- watwut 9y agoThank you. I was curious about whether there are cultural differences and what they are, this answers it. I did not knew about c letter being taboo.
- uncletaco 9y agoIts not so much a thing that all bloods do. Its just those of us uninitiated into gangs sometimes hear about their esoteric rituals and it can get ridiculous. For instance, some gang members where I grew up put glasses of water under their bed each night and threw it out the next morning because the devil used it. The practice has a lot in common with other rituals around the world, but I heard about it on a school bus and didn't get it.
- watwut 9y agoThank you again. This gives whole new dimension to gangs. I thought they are mostly about criminal activity and belonging, but this give then spiritual or religious shade I did not expected. Then again, I guess that when you do something highly dangerous, superficions emerge naturally. I can see how one would appreciate having these cultural bit in a show while different ethnicity won't get them at all.
