A+B Conversation: Tragic Mulattos


Alex O. and Monica B. discuss Mariah Carey's role as the sad multiracial orphan girl trying to make it big in the Oscar-nominated feature, Glitter.

A: Why does Mariah love playing the tragic mulatto? She loves that shit.
B: So that other tragic mulattos know they're not alone.
A: Like Hilary Banks?
B: Especially her.
A: I should have gotten Glitter for you as a Christmas gift so we could have discussed the epic moments in that movie. It was gold.
B: Like Showgirls and Honey...but for tragic mulattos.
A: I'm sensing a new themed movie night.
B: "Girls who just wanna dance!"
A: I can't think of anymore.
B: "Girls who wanna make it big but just can't brush off those haters."
