Is this Family Feud Contestant a Racist?

by LA Ferguson

Despite the rise in interest with Zombies, due to the success of the hit AMC's show "The Walking Dead".

Not everyone has been bitten by the Zombie bug and understand the fictitious undead creatures.

On a recent episode of "Family Feud," host Steve Harvey asked contestants to describe the characteristic of a zombie. 

One contestant quickly buzzed in and shouted out: "black." Looking very confused and clearly offended Harvey replied, "They're black? OK."  

The crowed erupted in laughter. The contestant appeared flustered but started clapping her hands and shouting "it's up there, it's up there." Harvey's muttered "You shut up lady." 

Obviously her answer wasn't on the board, but her opponent's non-racial answer, "they move slow," got the win.



Do you think the woman's comment qualifies as being racist?

For what ever reason that made me thing about Key and Peele's hilarious skit about racist Zombies.
