In the episode, Glen Naessens, who starred in the second season of the original MTV series, discussed inequality. He said, “The first time I’ve really felt what you’re passionate about was when I was with my friend John, and I went to a pizza place. And they called him a n***er.”

Tami then corrected him quickly, saying, “You don’t say it though.” Glen fired back, telling Tami, “That’s what he was called. They called him that, they called me that.”

Still, Tami didn’t “think you should say it out of your mouth…I’m saying that you can say, ‘he was called the n-word.’ You shouldn’t feel comfortable saying that.”

Glen, however, insisted that he was simply quoting the people described in the story, accusing Tami of not understanding friendship. To that, Tami responded, “They weren’t calling you that. You don’t understand what I’m saying to you that the word ‘n***er’ shouldn’t come out yo’ white a** mouth!”

Latina cast member Irene Berrera escalated the situation as she snapped at Glen. “You have no idea what it is to be a n***er, okay? Do not ever say that!” Tami wasn’t really appreaciate Irene’s attempt to defend her as she reminded the latter, “You don’t say it either ’cause you Latina.”

“This thread WILLLLLLDDDDD as f**k Loudly crying faceLoudly crying faceLoudly crying faceLoudly crying face every single clip deserves a Motion Picture Of The Year nomination,” one Twitter user commented. “This actually a textbook example of how black people politely try to correct white people repeatedly until they get irritated,” someone else added.

The clip has since gone viral.

It didn’t take long for #BlackTwitter to hop on the hashtag and send Tami’s name straight to the top of the trending topics tab.
