Despite these differences, Ezra openly displays an interest in Black culture, sporting the latest (clean) sneakers, enjoying rap music, and hosting a podcast with his Black best friend Mo (Sam Jay) all about “the culture.” Regardless, Amira and Ezra make a decent pairing.
I love how black people are so proud of their culture, and often they'll even insult white people for "not having any culture", but their culture consists of rap, fucking shoes, and basketball/football.
I've seen black guys on YouTube who do street interviews. They'll find a white guy and say, "Let's see how much you know about black people!" They proceed to ask questions like what's a do-rag? What are these shoes (*while pointing to a pair of Jordan's he's wearing *)? Finish this lyric, ">insert some shitty mainstream rap lyric<"
Then when the white guy gets them all right, the black dude goes crazy as if the white guy just discovered a cure for cancer.
Like how pathetic is that? I know they play it up for the camera, but they've actually convinced themselves that these things are worthy of pride.
It's not that the characters in You People have nothing to be cautious about. There are legitimate concerns when people of color enter romantic relationships with white people
Yeah, such as their black friends and family members giving them non-stop grief for dating a white person. I'd guess somewhere around 95% of all negative comments made towards interracial couples in America are said by black people or another minority. (mostly Indians next, followed by Asians/Mexicans in some order)

If you tried to convince me that mainstream black american culture is the result of a government-corporate astroturf to create perfect consumers/voters, I would believe you. No wonder the africans and black latinos can't stand it.
Gonna have to stop you right there. He doesn't think he's 'white', none of his third cousins think they're 'white', and they'll all quite gladly volunteer that the moment anyone starts talking social-justicey.
He’s perturbed by the idea of interracial relationships and side-eyes Black people whose hair isn’t nappy enough. (Ironically, he makes these comments to his daughter, who’s portrayed by a light-skinned, biracial woman, despite having two dark-skinned Black parents in the film).
I saw that scene in the movie and thought that it was "the joke" that he was complaining about light-skinned black people in the cafe in front of the light skinned daughter. I didn't really put 2 and 2 together about her being obviously not their daughter.
