the whitest guy to be a 'pimp'. That was the biggest gap in casting I've seen in a while.

Not very original, but 'We accept the love we think we deserve.' Brilliant.

The black pimp is a bit of a stereotype, don't ya think?

I am far from an expert, but I lived in that area of howood and others. A) not all pimps are black. B) he seemingly handled trans for the most part and that might be part of it. C) I regularly saw white pimps who dressed a lot like this dude at the howood greyhound station, not to mention on s.m. blvd.
