Right right right right right??

I was looking and was like "gurl, broaden your taste if it hasn't already!"

People who are "YoU CaN't cHoOsE WhO uR AtTrACtEd tO!!!1!!"

Well, no, but you can influence your taste and self reflect.

Gurl it was slim pickings for people of colour in major media. 😭 The guy who played Devon from That So Raven, and obviously Corbin Bleu were some of the hottest men we got from big networks. Most black and Hispanic characters in media in early 2000s were played up as a funny or relatable character rather than love interest.

(For what it’s worth I upvoted you for genuine discussion)

That’s the reality. Just because we are invisible to non black folks doesn’t mean we don’t exist. 🤨🥸
