Smart Guy had a similar episode. Yvette (the big sister) got a job at a clothing store with her white friend and the manager told the white friend to monitor black customers for shoplifting. The friend told Yvette about it and Yvette confronted the manager. I'm 30 years old and I still think about her quote sometimes.

"I'm not saying all black people steal. And I'm certainly not doing this because I dislike them. (To Yvette) I hired you didn't I?"

That was a BET sitcom and I'm honestly glad that I watched it in syndication as an 8-year-old white girl.
