During the recent episode, the pair were talking about their showering habits when Pazsitzky asked her husband whether he was ‘anti-washes.’
Segura on the other hand replied with, ‘I’m not going to wash my legs and feet.’
Additionally, then Pazsitzky asked him whether he believed that it was a ‘black people thing’ to wash legs and feet.
Segura then jokingly answered by saying that he does not think it was a black people thing.
He followed up with another comment by adding, ‘I think, using washcloth is for poor people, but I don’t think washing your legs and feet is for black people.’
Besides that, Pazsitzky agreed with her husband’s comment and affirmed that using washcloths in showers is something that poor people do.
Meanwhile, the remark about washcloths has sparked a debate on hygiene and cleaning habits. Subsequently, many people pointed out that Segura and Pazsitzky have an ignorant attitude and racist nature.
Never thought I would be called poor for having washcloths by the group of people who didn’t know you were supposed to wash your legs and feet while in the shower. This is also the same group that’s quick to tell us (unprovoked) that they only bathe once a week. https://t.co/8i4arTKZ6H
