I was literally just reading a post about Jodie Comer- and I LOVE HER sm, she’s gorgeous!- but she’s also.. another blonde white woman, it’s just so. Idk. Interesting ig. And like every other post I see from influencers are blonde, white women (fake or real blonde!)

It’s just interesting what we’re valuing in our beauty culture, and seeing how much we’re shifting BACK into that “Americana” kind of look, of what is valued in our society

Oh girl it’s not your fault, it’s just so funny to observe it in pop culture, year after year. But regardless, we’re all beautiful so 🤷‍♀️

I’m not doubting that, she’s an incredible actress. So are Margot Robbie, Scarlett Johansson, Sydney Sweeney, and other artists/actresses/etc like them. But the amount of posts I see praising them for their beauty, compared to a WOC, it’s just interesting. WOC do get praise, but not in the same way that these particular people do. Their beauty is not central to their fame, in the way that these particular people are, if that makes sense. WOC beauty isn’t praised as often in the same way

But back to what you were saying, I feel the most insecure when I’m surrounded by white peoples who are always the preference. Even for black men- and that’s a whole other level of insecure when the black men start talking down on me just for being a black woman

I’m one of those people who avoid white people. Like yeah some are cool but I wouldn’t interact with them as deeply I would a poc girl friend. I don’t know I just see them but don’t hear them. But I don’t agree sometimes a white friend is nice lmaoo

I get that. I literally have no black friends. My college is very diverse but I haven’t made a single friend that is black. It’s like they already all knew each other so I didn’t fit in. And then there’s the fact that I act differently than the way some of them do so it doesn’t work. It’s definitely hard not having someone who understands even the smallest things. Few white friends I’ve made don’t be knowing wth I’m talking about 😂. Kind of a lonely/misunderstood feeling

Yeah to be honest I think it’s more of a standard in theory than in practice but def depends greatly on location throughout the US

Not once did she say they aren’t pretty. And it doesn’t seem like it was implied either. Well, not to me anyway. More likely than not, blonde white women are usually preferred. It’s not the case 100% of the time but usually it is. There’s nothing wrong with them being pretty. She’s probably just upset that she won’t be looked at the same as they are bc that’s how it has been for the longest. Not saying that’s how it is in every single corner of the world. But in general, that’s how it is

Imo she is talking about the women that get put on a pedestal when it comes to conversations about beauty. Despite the fact that there is basically nothing unique about them. Look at celebrity red carpets. Virtually every white actress dyes her hair blonde at some point or lightens it in some way, because it’s seen as the ideal color. Meanwhile, the majority of WOC are overlooked and rarely given their flowers. Especially those who don’t adopt Eurocentric beauty standards.
