WKRP in Cincinnati, Season 4
Bailey:
Have you noticed that you can't tell what color someone is over the phone?
Venus:
I guess not.
Bailey:
That's right! Stereotype thinking! I mean, when I heard Black Life Magazine, I was expecting him to be like "Hey, little momma, you tell the dude I'll be here at fo'." But he didn't. He sounded just like you!
Venus:
What does she mean "just like me?" I'm black, I'm from the street, I can say "fo'!"
Johnny:
That's right, Kingfish. You is, and you does. But the problem is, you sound neutral.
Venus:
Neutral. You mean 'white.'
Johnny:
Well, don't worry, pal. I've heard you say "upside your head," things like that. Don't worry, you can pass for black.
Venus:
I don't want to "pass for black," I want to be black! What the hell am I saying?
