Actress Naya Rivera went on the view on Tuesday and made a joke about how showering every day is a white people thing. “I have to say I have a theory about showering, (which) is that I think that white people shower a lot more than ethnics,” is what she literally said.

This was a pretty insane thing to say, not just because it’s offensive but also because it’s so inaccurate. I have never met people who shower more than caribeños, I mean HELLO. Also, we won’t even get into how ethnicity ≠ race, and you can be both white and “ethnic.”
Anyway, unsurprisingly, people were not really feeling her joke, and it wasn’t long before folks on Twitter were trying to make Chappelle-style racial draft trades to boot Naya from Team Latinos. (Like we did back in May with Stitches).
