Zoe Kravitz: [Growing up] I didn’t identify with black culture … I didn’t like Tyler Perry movies.
As one of few black kids in her predominately white school and how her views shifted:
I identified with white culture, and I wanted to fit in…I didn’t identify with black culture, like, I didn’t like Tyler Perry movies, and I wasn’t into hip-hop music…Black culture is so much deeper than that, but unfortunately that is what’s fed through the media. That’s what people see. That’s what I saw. But then I got older and listened to A Tribe Called Quest and watched films with Sidney Poitier, and heard Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. I had to un-brainwash myself. It’s my mission, especially as an actress.
Why Zoe believes guys don’t hit on her:
I’m going to say that they feel intimidated so that I feel better about the fact that no one’s trying to hang out.

The title didnt do the story justice.She was aware of and raised with things from her culture.But,leave it to “them”to imply that she didnt want to be associated with her blackness.Its very unfortunate that people pick a person and what they do as a representative of a race.Frankly,he doesnt speak for many blacks including me.
Glad to read about her evolution. She’s a very interesting sista.
Sounds like a Privileged spoiled brat..She still doesn’t have a clue….
What child of celebrities isn’t privileged and spoiled. At least she seems to be trying.
I never liked Tyler Perry movies either, but also, I’m not black. Does that make me a racist?
That was a joke. But I’ve always been seriously attracted to black women. Too bad they haven’t returned the favor.
