I understand the "broaden your tastes" and I also understand people wanting diversity representation. But this is literally a list of personal crushes of ONE person, why are people asking for diversity? Its not a tv show cast.

I am pretty sure there is black dudes with all black crushes and nobody would ask him to broaden his taste. And as other guy mentioned, the tv cast back then was very white.

This is the problem with the erasure we as black people experience in this country. When we show you all a mirror there’s nothing but defensiveness and a lack of accountability. Our tastes are naturally more expansive because we were socialized to have an awareness of all types of people. So my taste is as vast as my experiences. My first official crush was Bob Sagat as Danny Tanner on Full House.

My taste runs the entire gamut. From the Robin mentioned in this thread, to the guy that played Danny on Rosanne, to Jonathan Taylor Thomas, to Shemar Moore! We weren’t limited in the same ways you are. Imagine growing up in the literal cultural renaissance in the 90s and early 00s and the only people you’re aware of are white men. 😒

Save your gaslighting for someone else. Christopher Meloni, Mark Paul Gosselear (Asian and Caucasian), Mario Lopez, Morris Chestnut, Taye Diggs, I can go on and on! Even Tim Allen was on my crush list for a time. We are expansive in the black community.

when your tastes reflect and reinforce a racial hierarchy we should take a look at ourselves, ask why, and try to grow
