As well as comparing his daily struggles — whatever they are — to those of Black America in his 2010 interview with Playboy, John Mayer also made some highly problematic comments regarding race and his sexuality.

The “Daughters” singer compared his manhood to white supremacist David Duke before revealing that he was going to try and become more open-minded when it came to dating women of color. And there were a few, in particular, that he found himself attracted to including “21 Jump Street” actor Holly Robinson Peete, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” star Karyn Parsons and “Scandal” favorite Kerry Washington. Considering what followed, however, it’s unlikely that the latter would ever give him the time of day.

Referring to Washington, Mayer suddenly said out of nowhere, “She’s superhot, and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, ‘Yeah, I sucked his d***. Whatever.’ And you’d be like, ‘What? We weren’t talking about that.'” Deservedly, the troubadour received a lot of flak for his comments, with “The Race Card: How Bluffing About Bias Makes Race Relations Worse” author Richard T. Ford telling Us Weekly that such “tongue-in-cheek racism satirizes racial stereotypes and but also sort of traffics in them. Sarah Silverman does post racist very adroitly — she’s both hilarious and thought-provoking. Mayer does it badly — he’s offensive and tiresome.”
