Author Nell Irvin Painter offers her interesting perspective on race and sex in her new book while Stephen tries to crack some funnies and figure out what the book is really about.
“White people are the default color, Christianity if the default religion, male is the default sex, brown is the default eye color, English is the default language – I am the default American. I am America. ” Stephen Colbert

what?
are u trying to say that white came first??..
it’s difficult being interviewed by colbert, but he’s on point too.
I’ll read this woman’s book and see whats up.
She’s right though, about having sex to change your race, since race was made up to separate and nothing more.
As funny as it is I wish she could’ve spoken more about her book.
default yuh mumma
Her evasiveness is a pitiful attempt to draw interest to her book. Sounds like a book about a lot of rehashed racial theories with no original voice. She would’ve been better served answering the questions. Or maybe there’s not really much to talk about.
yeah, Colbert was just too quick and witty for her.
LOl she wasn’t ready
