She and Chamberlain kept getting into arguments in the makeup trailer about who was really black.
He would refer to her as an African-American, and Grace, born and raised in Jamaica, would just explode. “I’m not African-American, so don’t you call me that!” she’d yell.
Wilt’s and Grace’s arguments were wild. I couldn’t figure out their hostility, but it was there.
“I’m not like you,” she would tell him. “I don’t come from uneducated slaves. I’m from Jamaica, I speak French, my ancestors were never slaves.”
The N-word was thrown around, which shocked me.
Wilt would be saying, “There’s nothing black about me. Don’t give me this crap! I live in Beverly Hills with the white guys, I fµck only white women, I drive the same cars as the white guys, I have money like white guys. So fµck you, you’re the n*****.”
At one point I intervened. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, guys! Guys, please, this is a makeup trailer; let’s not have those arguments.
See, the makeup trailer is supposed to be all about a soothing atmosphere, because you’re getting ready for the scene. So let’s not get agitated here.
Furthermore, have you looked at yourselves in the mirror lately? Because how could you argue you’re not black? I mean, both of you are black!”
And they said, “No, no, you don’t understand, it’s got nothing to do with the color. It’s the attitude, it’s the background.”
