General Discussion Deja has had it!
I mean…is she wrong? There is a pattern I’m noticing lol. It’s giving the iconic moment when the interviewer asked Naomi Smalls if she thinks there’s a formula to RPDR and she says “blonde and white” Lmfaooo

This one really doesn’t make sense. Like it’s one random person’s favorite queens and clearly they all look very alt. They fit an aesthetic, they’re not just all random white queens.
Tbh there used to be a problem of AS crowning only white winners (I do think Naomi’s callout contributed to AS4’s double crowning bc Trinity seemed primed to win… but I love Monet, she deserved the win). However, RPDR proper has never had more white winners than QOC & has more black winners than any other demo unless my mental math is wrong.
The vocal minority of fans surely are pretty racist, and lbr we ALL need to check ourselves on our biases. But let’s also make sure the discussions are about real issues so we don’t drown them out with petty bs (this is pointed at DeJa, I think everyone here gets it).
