being a woc is lowkey so crazy somedays becasue tell me why i saw a tiktok comment that said i dont ship percabeth in the show becasue a black girl finding love is super unrealistic. like pasue and reflect on wtaf that just said and how fucking pathetic that statement sounds and how it can affect real girls self image. also i dont jnow if everyone will agree but black girls are one of the most underrepresented groups in media often being labeled as too loud or too outspoken and unattarctive and the disposable black girlfriend trope is an excellent example of that in media. but keep in mind u never had to be that 13 year old black girl crying in the bathroom becasue random people were calling you the nword when i was biking or wondering why or wanting to see a girl like me getting her happy ending or having a guy say straight up to you, your cute and seem really kind but i only date white girls so having leah as that reputation and seeing her getting her flowers will always makes me cry becasue it reminds me that theres hope for girls who look like me so #leahbeth forever.
-thank u for coming to my ted talk xoxo
