So you’re probably asking: “What the hell?”

Hill explains that his “Trophy Scarves” project is a satire on interracial dating.
“There are people who see certain races as status symbols, and someone had to comment on that,” Hill to Vice.
So is Hill’s work a serious creative commentary on race relations in America, or a thinly-veiled attempt to press-up on white girls?
We’re still not totally clear about how draping naked white women over a black man’s shoulders is a keen observation about interracial dating. It sounds like Hill is getting his freak on and playing it off as art.
