Interesting how the multi-racial Shirley card still uses a black woman whose skin isn’t all that black.
I suspect media representations of black Americans still prioritize those with lighter skin tones.
- civilized 5y agoOh yes. There is no question about this.
- nicbou 5y agoThis is something I noticed as well. She always has the same exact haircut too.
