White Fangirls: I love when the male lead ends up with the girl next door or his childhood bff
*Girl is Black*
White Fangirls: um ... the girl next door thing is so cliched.
White Fangirls: I love when the male lead pines over the girl and she's oblivious
*Girl is Black*
White Fangirls: She's so CRUEL. Why doesn't she see he's in love with her? She's a bitch.
White Fangirls: I love when they go from partners to lovers. It's my favorite trope.
*Girl is Black*
White Fangirls: Why can't they just stay friends. Not every relationship is romantic. Ugh!
White Fangirls: I love when the female lead is more than just a love interest. I love when she has her own storyline and can kick ass.
*Girl is Black*
White Fangirls: Why do they focus on her so much? [Other white character] is so much more interesting.
White Fangirls: I don't understand why there aren't more strong female leads.
Me: *looks at all the strong Black female leads on TV*
Me: What about -
White Fangirls: There's just no strong, three-dimensional women on TV to root for. Sigh.
