Had Day stuck around instead getting into a yelling match instead of walking away she would have come across as the stereotypical angry Black woman that she believes she did in previous seasons.

Neither of them were wrong. And they were right that Christmas (and all the other non-minority houseguests) are able to yell and fight without the worry that they will be portrayed as perpetuating stereotypes or having to represent an entire race. Is it white privilege but it doesn't necessarily mean Christmas was about to put on her KKK robe.
I guess good on your for acknowledging your biases but I feel it’s unfair for Bay and Day to assume that’s how all white people would feel.
