True story: So someone emailed my work email to ask me why all the students on Abbott Elementary are Black and I said because it's set in Philly and they asked where the white students were and I said Philly is 75% BIPOC and majority Black and the public schools are 86% POC and they said, "so why aren't the 14% of white students represented on the show?"
@VABVOX I bet they never wonder why there are no BIPOC folks in an all-white space.
@VABVOX The white gaze demands that people of color consider the white reader or observer's reaction and feelings.
@VABVOX Oh for Pete’s sake! I haven’t missed an episode and never noticed nor cared. IMO it doesn’t change the story lines one bit. if it concerns them so much I guess they can change the channel🤷♀️
@VABVOX They'll be alright. We watched Full House growing up and never asked where the black folks were.
@VABVOX It’s all so exhausting. It’s a show about black people in an educational setting just like Friends was a show about white kids in NYC. Both good shows. Just enjoy them. None of this needs to be this hard.
