Both before and after commenting on the interview, Hailey continues to exhibit a casual racism towards both Starr and Maya. Her attitude is entirely unapologetic; she refuses even to engage in conversation with her friends about why her comments might be offensive to them. This closed-mindedness reflects a larger difficulty of having a productive conversation about race in America.
