White Woman Talks Over Black Woman
Why even bother bringing a black guest host to discuss Bridgerton if the white host is just gonna talk over her the entire time? Willa, the white host, rambled on so much in this episode and even when she’d remember she wasn’t alone, she’d interrupt Nichole, the black guest host, before she could even finish answering. Nichole, the one who has read the books, criticizes the adaptation and Willa stills seems to share more thoughts on it than Nichole. And the worst part is when Nichole, a WOC who has a very different perspective on representation in TV from a white woman, expresses some criticism with the way the shows’ black characters are portrayed, and Willa pushes back and justifies the show choices repeatedly. I felt awful for Nichole and I hope Slate treats her better than this going forward.

haha, Dana doesn't get much of what she's talking about. Regrettably, she will stand on her soapbox and speak of films of which she has no solid background; I guess only having an opinion is enough to call someone a "Critic." She shouldn't call "child abuse"...Read full review »

Never thought anyone could rob me of the joy I get from consuming pop culture. I'm pretty sure that long-windedness & enjoying the sound of one's own voice are requirements of any job at Slate.Read full review »
