Dulcé Sloan: NY more racist than South

You know Dulcé Sloan from "The Daily Show," where she delivers witty commentary from the desk as a correspondent and plays hilarious characters like Black Karen. You can also catch her on Fox’s animated series "The Great North," where she voices the beloved character of Honeybee. When I talked to Sloan recently about New York (where the "The Daily Show" is based), she said, "It's cold, and I hate it!" But in all seriousness, one thing Sloan shared is why she thinks America's idea of racism is incorrect.

"New York was one of the [most] racist places I've ever lived in my life," Sloan said when I asked her about the biggest misconceptions about the South. Sloan, who grew up in Atlanta, says there's an idea that "we're stupid and that Southern Black people are more docile than Northern Black people. That we are somehow lesser, that we're more racist. There's so many things."
