Leslie why did you have to end a very sweet interview with Katie Ledecky by saying that? It was so nice up until that point. Leslie showed kind and excited earnestness, and Katie showed graciousness and a lot of charm!

| Ledecky was good with her response about a swim cap. It was fine. |
| Is this worth a thread? |
This is OP, K.L. was poised, funny, and gracious the entire time. L.J. messed up the vibe at the end and embarrassed black women everywhere. |
Yes. |
๐๐ As a Black woman, Leslie did not embarrass me. |
So you are happy that she made a unilateral decision to speak for black women? |
She's a comedian you know. |
The "we black people don't" tropes are played out. |
| Cringe commentary is Leslie Jones's career persona. |
| Seems like a set-up, honestly. |
How? |
Agree. Katie doesnโt seem with it enough to come up with that response unless planned. |
All she said was that is why I will have a swim cap for you. That is the most polite response to give. She did not dismiss, but did not make a big deal out of the "concern" express, she did not engage with Leslie's minstrel show, which was good on her. |
