B

A few scenes here rank among the series’ most satirically sharp, but the episode foils itself a bit.

It’s a fun episode, and another way into the themes touched on in the other anthology stories.

I... see this episode as a crucial sample of the show’s marrow, and the results show that provocation is the cancer in the lifeblood of the series.

While “The Curse of Whiteness” is the overarching theme of Season 3, step-out episodes like “Rich Wigga Poor Wigga” dig deeper into those issues than Al and the crew ever could on the streets of Europe.

I appreciate how Glover used the episode to centralize themes of Blackness, anti-Blackness, colorism, and anti-immigrant sentiments that fuel the diaspora wars.

This episode (which was written and directed by Donald Glover) was another memorable one, even if [the ending] does make very little sense.
