Cam\u2019ron and Ma$e have a no-holds-barred approach when it comes to the questions they ask interview subjects.\u00a0Indiana Pacer star Tyrese Haliburton <\/a>appeared on the latest \u201cIt Is What It Is\u201d podcast, and Cam\u2019ron asked him why \u201che only be with white girls\u201d all the time.<\/p>\n

Cam Ask Tyrese Haliburton Why He\u2019s Always With White Girls<\/p>\n

Both guys seemed to get a kick out of the question and Haliburton, whose fianc\u00e9e is white, kept it a buck.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThat won\u2019t bother me,\u201d Haliburton said. \u201cYou got to think like my fianc\u00e9e, she\u2019s a white girl\u2026I\u2019m from Wisconsin I grew up around all white people. My girl is from Iowa. She grew up around all white people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo that video where you saw me hop out of the car with a bunch of white girls. It\u2019s like her sister and all her friends from growing up. People are killing me, but these are just her friends from growing up,\u201d\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n

The comment section definitely came to the party.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCam must not know that Tyrese is half white..\u201d said one fan\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cthe reasons Black people give for (dating white) never makes sense He says its cause he only was around white people but his girl also did and still went for a Black guy,,,lmaooo,\u201d another commenter said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s also a white guy\u2026Tyrese mom is white. Most half breeds who were raised by \u201cwhite\u201d mothers usually tend to date white women. Their first love is from a white woman so it makes sense\u2026That\u2019s what they are used to,\u201d another inflammatory comment read.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think 1 Black woman cares about him being with a white girl\u2026HAVE AT TI,\u201d one fan said.<\/p>\n

Interracial marriages, especially involving Black NBA players, still strike a chord in the comment section, even as an increasing number of NBA players are of the same ethnic mix as Haliburton. His reasoning for not dating Black didn\u2019t sit well with everyone but based on his upbringing and the current climate it was generally understood.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat rich successful black man wants to align himself with a demographic that\u2019s going to put you on child support, drag your name on social media, poison the minds of your potential kids how you\u2019re a \u2018deadbeat\u2019 and \u2018abusive\u201d when things don\u2019t go their way\u2026,\u201d one person said, suggesting that Haliburton will regret his dating choices.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou coons swear why white woman are angels see where that gets you lmao,\u201d said another. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam\u2019ron and Ma$e have a no-holds-barred approach when it comes to the questions they ask interview subjects.\u00a0Indiana Pacer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":715460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3774],"tags":[7,113,126,3866,6,114],"class_list":{"0":"post-715459","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-indiana-pacers","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-indiana","10":"tag-indiana-pacers","11":"tag-indianapacers","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-pacers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116445072830604375","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
