In what reality is Zoe a broke college student? Even in the context of the show she isn't. Like her parents are rich and pay for everything. And before you say they cut her off they did no such thing. They still paid all essential bills. Everything else like her japanese candy subscription has to be funded by her. She is not a broke college student. But yeah her hair being done up differently everyday??? That's not realistic even if you have money. The best you can give us is the look of the week. I mean I keep my hair braided up the entire semester because it is way too much work to even style it every week. Again the show is not being realistic at all. Plus someone did say the writers room is made up of black men over the age of 40. It tracks.

She got mad at Ana because she started dating Aaron [EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS DATING LUKA] and it took two episodes for her to apologise [because of pride]. Then she kissed Aaron. Then she dropped out.

As a white person, I really wish these producers would stop assuming that we (the white audience) wouldn't watch a show with a minority lead, and that they have to white-wash everything for us. It feels insulting - they're assuming that we're either completely dumb, or as racist as they are. Even if I can't personally relate to a character (obviously, if the show is specifically about the black experience, I won't be able to relate to that) I can still enjoy the show and enjoy seeing a story and an experience that's different to my own. This has already been proven - shows and movies with minority leads can do extremely well, even with a white audience.

We're still hella young and trying to figure things out. We don't have the answers. Shit, most grown ass adults don't. I feel like Grown-ish can occupy this space about being a Black girl in college without having to be all about Black and social issues because at the end of the day everyone's experience is different and there is not one way to be Black in a space. The writers could definitely handle things better, but you can't solve complicated issues like colorism, police violence, and mental health in a 22 minute episode.

Well I mean we don’t really feel the effects of racism (DIRECTLY) those years are behind us .... And while a lot racist acts still happen and of course black people get it worse... we as a people are highly stereotyped (not to mention we have the most negative stereotypes) ... and people (especially white people) innately have prejudices against us and it shows even tho they deny it ... I can see what ur saying tho ... when people are racist to the community today it’s towards everyone in the community... and when it’s colorism it’s like a shot towards you personally as you can feel more alone

Neil Rasbury He’s telling the truth, he said what was stated because it contributes to colorism. Let’s not pretend as if a dark skinned individual has the same privileges as a light skinned individual. From my personal experience I had literally got a job during undergrad under bullshit pretenses as I essentially “looked the part” because I was bright. This shit is real but the show isn’t hitting it right the way that it should be but I digress 💀.

It took her a whole 5 minutes of "i need to move on" before she could drag herself away from the subject. That's how much it affects us. Its a big deal.

The problem is that they took a side character in Black-ish and tried to make her a main character in her own show. Her character was fine when she wasn't the main focus. But the cracks are showing in her lack of character development when the show focusses mainly on her.

For anyone looking for a Netflix show w great dark skin female (and male) representation in a PWI, Dear White People does this well imo. Black women are presented as beautiful, intelligent and to me, most importantly- multifaceted. Nobody's the token black girl. Each black character in the show has deep storylines, where they evolve and change and grow. My favourite is Coco, who, unlike the lame attempt of Zoey in grownish, is dark skin, bitchy, but with her bitchiness and character actually explained. You come to love her. dwp shows black people as vulnerable, angry, anarchistic, emotional, loving. The show also explores issues such as colourism, police brutality, being lgbt and black, being mixed. Yes the protagonist is biracial, but the dark skin women don't feel like side characters. I feel they are portrayed in a better light than the protagonist in many ways, and their voices don't ever feel muted. Oh and it's funny. Sorry for this long ass review, I just want more people to see themselves in television.

What I love most about DWP is that they don't replace black women with mixed women. Sam White is light skinned because she's mixed, and the rest of the main characters who are black women are dark skinned. Not that black women aren't light sometimes, but we've seen this many times.
