Hi. So, i don't know if that's a weird question, but as i read articles about the "Sassy Black Woman" stereotype, it seens like there are some female characters that are accused of fitting the stereotype, when they don't(sometimes just because the character show stronger emotions). I only saw a few examples but, do you minding giving examples of characters that fit the stereotype and characters that don't but are accused of doing so?
Black viewers! Do y'all have any examples for anon?
Also, I think it would be interesting to see the article you saw.
I say all the time that I don't consider Leshawna a stereotype, and she is always on the lists. I don't care how many lists it is. They're never gonna make me feel insulted by a character that acts like me. Many times, people think that having a sassy Black character is a racist depiction, and it can be... or it can be a person who is like many of the Black people who are simply existing and being called "sassy" for whatever reasons. She's ALSO enthusiastic, athletic, fun,friendly, smart, and resourceful. People focus in on the "sassy" thing and I think they're weird for it.
EXACTLY!
