Except that OITNB features tons of women of color as main characters? And so does Handmaid's Tale? Haven't you ever watched either of them? Because none of the things you just said were true about either show? I don't know anything about WW though. But seriously you should watch those 2 shows bc Idk where you're getting your information.
You must be white 🙄
A tv show featuring people of colour in it, does not mean it no longer has the ability to be racist. A show has to do more than just have non whote characters. Those characters need to be well written and treated with respect, they all shouldn’t fall into stereotypes or have their entire storyline revolve around a white character. They also should end in horrible unjustified death as a way to teach (white) viewers a lesson or be an example (Poussey Washington).
The same way you think I didn’t do research on any of these shows before responding, you didn’t do research on me before trying to come for me. I do watch OITNB, and it is racist. That’s been talked about quite a lot for a while and I’d advise you to do some of your own research in your spare time to learn about it if you’re interested (which you’re probably not).
Gal Godat, star of Wonder Woman is a Zionist. She’s a proud supporter of the IFD who have helped in the ethnic genocide of Palestinian people. I’ve reblogged stuff on my blog under the tag /anti+gal+godat or you can look into that tag on Tumblr as well to see more in depth posts.
I don’t watch the Handmaid’s Tail but I’ve heard enough about it to know it’s some fucked up story about mass rape/slavery of women and stars a white woman. 🤢
Which was the point of my post; there are many incredible movies and shows staring women that show women led media is just as wanted as media led by men. But all the examples are super problematic and star white women. And a strive for white women isn’t a strive for all women because not all women are white. 💁🏽
I don’t know what criteria the OP was looking for when making their post, but they could have used more diverse shows/movies Like Ghostbusters or HTGAWM or Empire or Scandal. And no that’s not to say a post about women’s accomplishments need to feature only black women or non white women to be valid but newsflash: white women starring in and succeeding in tv and movies is not a new concept. 😒Examples of women of varying races staring in and succeeding in various pieces of media would have been better, as well as shows/movies that don’t have as much controversy in them.
To conclude: none of what you said is true and I don’t know where you’re getting your information from. 🤷🏽‍♀️
