4:21Now Playing"White girls do it better" is a trending hashtag on Twitter. It started when porn stars tweeted out a hastag "white girl wednesday," which applied to them having sex with black men. That later morphed into #whitegirlsdoitbetter. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.
Is this about racism or just harmless fun? Let us know in the comments below.

"On Friday, the hashtag "#whitegirlsdoitbetter" began trending on Twitter. Active since as early as 2013 and initially associated with porn promotion sites, the hashtag recently saw a resurgence in activity -- populated largely with provocative or posed selfies of young white women. The idea: highlighting the physical and thus overall superiority of white women to women of color, particularly black women.
The tag caught the attention of black users online, who have since flooded the tag with thousands of tweets and reappropriated its use in an effort to call out its hypocrisy and racism. (It was the catalyst for the recent exchange between teen star Amandla Stenberg and Kylie Jenner, when a fan used it to comment on a picture of Jenner wearing cornrows, prompting Stenberg to call out the appropriation of black culture by white women.)"
