Cross also argued if there were more blacks working in the trucking industry, there would be less racism.

“So, obviously, the more populated it is with people of color, I think you’ll see less of that,” Cross said.
The Daily Mail reported:
"She pointed to Bureau of Labor Statistics showing that nearly 77 percent of truck drivers are white, whereas 16.8 percent identify as either black or African American."
Twitter users called Cross racist for stereotyping white truck drivers and criticizing the industry.
One Twitter user wrote:
"Ahhhh yes, nothing racist at all about suggesting that an entire race of people drives a certain way,' and another person insinuated 'the behavior of truck drivers takes no race, color or creed into account."
Another wrote:
"God didn't create race or racism."
"People like Tiffany Cross did."
